The Bone-Root Way is the predominant ancestral faith of the Nokhul Vale. Its followers believe that ancestors sleep within the Vale's taproots, whispering law and reciprocity through living wood.
Each household tends an heir-root bonsai grown from funeral ash. Pruning without rite is criminal, seen as mutilating both tree and ancestor. Humans maintain most heir-roots, Orcs conduct funerary rites, and Simiah test oaths by climbing the roots and listening for true sap-song.
