[Ori'haat Symbol, Red Circle for a new sun with the word "Manda" in the center. Interlocking chain of "Mandalorian Knots" representing the never ending Promise of Kad Ha’rangiir]
"And I Beheld the glow of three sun's; One Black as pitch but bright as day. One White as snow but soft as cotton. And the last red as blood which Flickered and spat sparks. The Destroyer God pointed to this third and said
"what I have given to them who are not my chosen I have given to you also. To conquer and bind the galaxy as an animal in a snare is my will for you my people. Yet they reject my children."
The Destroyer God drew in the black sand a circle outlined in orange and in it's Center said "manda"
"Yours shall be my chosen arbiters. To lead your siblings here. But they will detest you and make you suffer for the truth because they fear what change may come. but do not despair, the Long March is yours to walk. And it is good the lands which I have laid for your arrival there.""
-Rimr Be Haat
Description;
The Cult of Kad Ha'rangiir produced by the influences of the Jedi religion on Clan Rytt's original Concordian folk beliefs. Ori'haat's concentrates on 6 tenets:
1) the truth is worth dying for. It should be said even at the cost of one's life or status.
2) the Destroyer God is not a Destroyer but a being that brings change. Through all means but he is not a God of decadence or moral decay.
3) a mans armor is and extension of his soul, He shall wait until he is released from his oath to it in the afterlife. He is released when it is smelted down or destroyed.
4)Besk'in Rytt Entered the Manda where the Destroyer God Showed him the truth
5) Arasuum is the God of Psychotic repetition and keeps the Mandalorians from their destiny through conquerlust, pride and the sith
6) all Force sensitive beings are Kad Ha'rangiir's Chosen beings.
It's Religious text is the Rimr Be Haat, which was written by Besk'in Rytt and officially Canonized in his final year of life. Though some elders have built upon his Teachings over the last 600 years none of the original text has changed, including it being written in the original Concordian dialect Besk'in knew.
History:
Besk'in Rytt began as a jedi Knight of Mandalorian Descent, Upon a call from the force he left the Order and attempted to rejoin his people. They despised him and persecuted him for his abilities in the Force. After a time of Torture and attempted execution he fled The Mandalore sector, Seeking others like himself to begin building a clan of his own. He found a number of force sensitive and non force sensitive warriors to join his cause and Clan Rytt Grew. As he aged he would become more and more contemplative, creating a great emphasis around prayer, fasting and meditation for the Clan who found refuge on Maridun. When he was in his 80s he went on the experience which would spark the creation of Ori'haat. He was said to have disappeared from his tent in front of his Kin and remained so for 3 days before returning with the Ori'haat.
Blood
The use of blood in the religion is highly symbolic, used by each individual to make oaths. it is used as a signature, considered ritualistically binding. One of these binding oath rituals is the "ctalcasr be sianadr" [Paw Oath] or 10 finger blood pact. This pact is made after the Verd’goten. Each finger is pricked to draw blood as the freshly tested mandalorian swears to follow a similar code to the Resol'nare. This blood is pressed to paper and kept with the Verd.
By your blood you shall sign. by words you shall swear. Andby arms you shall keep this oath:
-to love your Clan and to love your people.
-To lay down your life for the weak so that they may grow strong.
-to wear the armor as your second skin and maintain it as your state demands.
-to bring offspring into this plain to swell the ranks of the mandalorian people. As many as you are capable of bearing.
-to Raise your children to be Mandalorians worthy of the mantle and to educate them on the way of the Mando'ade.
-to never recoil before your enemies
-to be bound by your given word unto death or capture
-to rally at the need of Mandalore and the need of the Mand'alor without hesitation.
-to speak truthfully even at the cost of your own life.
-to do no action nor Take any oath at the expense of this one.
Children in the religion are considered property of their parents until after their Verd'Goten. They are given a single name when they are born and this is immediately replaced and never spoken again after they swear their pact. This is because the first name is considered to be the one the Destroyer God will Hail them with in the afterlife. This is meant as a symbolic gesture coming from the Chant "I live to die, I die to Live" with the idea being that the former child has symbolically perished and only the adult is left until he too perishes and becomes the child he once was.
Steel:
Among all Mandalorians the use of beskar is universal. But among those who follow Ori'haat it is much more than that, Followers will swear blood oaths on their armor and the swirls and patterns are considered to be a sign that it was sent from kad Ha’rangiir to the Mandalorian people as a sign of his protection. It's ability to resist lightsaber blows and Blaster fire are considered to be providential characteristics.
As mentioned before the souls of the previous wearers are considered bound to a set of armor until the set is smelted down or destroyed. Weapons are carried by adherents at all times. Armorers are almost exclusively Chaplains who bless the armor as it is forged.
Will:
The force in Ori'haat is considered to be the breath of Kad Ha'rangiir. It is his divine will and those who are sensitive to it are considered to be gifted by the God personally. Ori'haat rejects previous folk beliefs such as that force wielders are witches (though this slur is still used) instead viewing them as avatars of change. The exception to this the Sith who are considered corrupted brings under the rule of Arasuum and is a threat to all Mandalorians.
The followers of Ori'haat have a similar view of The force though with characteristics that clearly attach it to the religion;
" The will Binds all living and none living matter in the universe. It is a never ending cycle of birth, death, decay and regrowth. It is what gives the Jedi and sith their power. It is the will of Kad Ha’rangiir that some possess the ability."
The Ultimate End of the Mandalorian peoples is to serve as buffer between the Dark side users of Arasuum and the light side users. To keep their balance of Power from shifting so far that it endangers all the peoples of the galaxy.
The afterlife, Known as the Manda is said to be a place of constant warmth and comfort. Where the people who enter join their kinsmen in a peaceful life of farming easy soil and bountiful harvests. It is said to be a place of rolling hills and white grass. Where Purple flowers with fragrant and wonderful scents grow in clusters and Orange leaved Trees grow in vast forests hiding wild game.
