At first glance it would be easy for the uneducated to simply state that Dokkaran religious believes are centered around trees (Specifically The Lady), though they would be incorrect. Dokkarans highly revere The Lady as their creator and wise mother; and Ensign Alanzar and Lieutenant Dell for their (albeit unfortunate) role in their creation, but do not think they are explicitly Divine. Dokkarans are highly religious and hold their faith quite close to them. Dokkaran religious beliefs are molded by those of Lieutenant Dell (A Wiccan) and Ensign Allanzar (An Anglican), along with the religious views of The Lady herself. | |||
Actual Dokkaran religion centers on the Unnamed Goddess, who is a prominent figure in the mythology of the origins of The Lady and her own religious beliefs. The Lady does not liken herself Divine and refuses worship and instead directs her children’s prayers towards the Unnamed Goddess. The Lady shares through her visions with her children that there were at one time other sentient Vizinyian Trees that covered the surface of Caeta. However at some point before The Lady even sprouted, they vanished, leaving a single seed behind to continue their civilization. Also according to these apparent ancestral memories, the Unnamed Goddess (Who originally did have a name) was the deity of the Vizinyians and bestowed sentience upon them. | |||
Since the Dokkaran awakening two centuries ago, The Lady has had her children plant Vizinyian seeds across Caeta, though to her disappointment, none of these trees are capable of true intelligence. | |||
The Temple of Kural Hannesh is the greatest of the temples devoted to the Unnamed Goddess and located in a grove not far from The Lady. It is the focal point of her worship and displays great architectural harmony. The style of the Temple itself is based off of Grecco-Roman architecture glimpsed in the memories of Lieutenant Dell and Ensign Allanzar though is far more elaborate. | |||
Dokkarans lack true prayer, but instead ‘commune with the Goddess’ through a type of hypnotic meditation that puts them into a deep trance that allows for profound spiritual enlightenment. These trances can last from hours to even days in extreme cases. | |||
