THE FIVE DUCK FRIENDS CULT 2 Friends of Ty Kora Tek
Any duck may become a friend of TKT (irrespective of Sex, since the ducks that helped TKT in mythical times were both female and male). Friends of TKT can have children (that is the way in which TKT associates herself with the friendship between ducks and BBG).
The cult of TKT friendship is a shamanic cult similar to ancestor worship. To become a Best friend of TKT the duck must be a shaman.
The cult allows the usage of the next divine spells:
- - Place of friendship - similar to Axis Mundi (GoG), it allows the
performance of FDFC ceremonies.
- - Incarnate Duck - similar to incarnate ancestor, it allows the duck to
incarnate the mythical duck that befriended the god, and, in that way, to
reenact the mythical encounter.
- - Summon FDF - similar to summon ancestor, it allows the summoning of one
of the FDFs.
The cult also allows the access to the TKT divine spells of Bless Grave and Command Ghost. TKT Best friends learn the skill of Prepare Corpse.
Sometimes a TKT shaman decides to join TKT becoming a Friend for Death of TKT. The shaman doesn't need to perform any particular ritual. First she will go to a place that is solitaire and very hard to find. There, the shaman spirit will simply abandon its body and join TKT, breaking the bond with his fetch. Thanks to TKT the body will become magically preserved and the fetch will turn into a protective ghost. For ducks, the bodies of these dead shamans are very holy and must not be disturbed.
DUCK HISTORY 1 - First age
The Peaceful MOrning
When Yelm rose in the sky and time began, the ducks found themselves
surviving in the place that was to be called Dragon Pass sharing the fate
of the races that fought chaos.
Those were times of peace and recovering, of caring for the dead and
letting the living live.
Eventually, like all sentient beings, ducks joined the First Council.
For the next 100 years the Durulz lived undisturbed and prospered. They
avoided mixing with the neighboring peoples, sticking to their own ways.
That's why they call those days the Peaceful MOrning.
In duckish culture the Peaceful MOrning represents the equivalent of a
golden age. It's the time of a new beginning. A beginning of plenty,
fulfillment, peace, and proper tribute to death.
>From the Jonestown Compendium:
"MOrning (Capital MoRNING. Also Muorning. A duck word) - Ducks don't have
separate words for 'morning' and 'mourning'. Instead, they have a single
word, mOrning. 'The Peaceful MOrning' - ducks golden age; 'My mOrning' -
the best time in a duck's life."
