Religion
300 years ago, wildfires took place in Kurro Vūrte, ruining all the lands and destroying all the houses. The wildfires lasted for weeks, until a man whose name was and is still unknown, stood firmly on the top of a building and shouted: "A tsunami will come and will save us all!" The phrase was heard in all of the country. The next day, a tsunami erupted, taming and stopping the wildfires, but killing few people in the process. Half of the population cried with joy and relief that day. Meanwhile, the other half were filled with rage due to the death of their loved ones. They hunted down the man and took revenge by burning him, leading to his death.

Until this day, a part of the population worships that man and calls him "Rescuer", Ragku in their language, believing that he is the God, the savior and the protector of all the lands. They call themselves "Grukus". Statues dedicated to the Protector are found all over the country, and the Grukus consider tsunamis as a blessing. The Rescuer is always shown with icy blue eyes, reflecting the color of the water.

Meanwhile, the other part of the population, the "Vkai" unleashed their anger by creating another God, represented by a woman with fiery red hair. Statues of her are also found all over the country. According to the Vkais, fire represents life and is considered as a grace.
