Bzzit Khaht beliefs in antiquity were originally based upon periodic volcanic activity, and consisted of several polytheistic traditions. The original deities in most of these traditions were in some way based upon the twin parents of the species, Sea and Sky. | Bzzit Khaht beliefs in antiquity were originally based upon periodic volcanic activity, and consisted of several polytheistic traditions.

Modern | Modern Bzzit Khaht are about 80% religious, and most follow one of four different disciplines based upon muddied versions of the original beliefs, all four of which have expanded to include the rest of the universe - a universal protecting Sky and a universal life-giving Sea, although the original, Yalena-bound terms are no longer used. | ||
Despite their beliefs in gods and theism, the Bzzit Khaht mythos has no place for an afterlife. Instead, when a Bzzit Khaht (or any other sentient, or indeed living thing) dies, its sacred energy flows from one form to the next. To be consumed is a great honor for a Bzzit Khaht, and ritualistic cannibalism is one of the greatest honors, bestowed only upon the highly gloried. | |||
