Hrud
,→Religion
According to the Hrud’s religion, they were not always a nocturnal scavenger race. But were changed into such when their God [[Qah]] foresaw the dangers they would face.{{Fn|1}}
Hrud religion worships a benevolent pantheon of gods known as the '''[[Slah-haii]]''' or ''"most ancient"''. Their beliefs hold that their race were created by the Slah-haii who intended for them to bask in the sun and be fruitful. It is said that this changed when their gods entered into a war against the '''[[Yaam-khehkhoh]]''' or ''"Mirror Devils"'' which saw the Slah-haii either slain, crippled or forced to flee.{{Fn|1}}
Their legends say that only a single member of the Slah-haii still exists known as Qah, a god also known as ''"He Who Lingers"''. This solitary member of the godhead is said to had recognized the dangers that would fall upon his beloved children and thus changed them into a race of nocturnal scavengers. Around 500,000 years ago, Qah is said to had told the Hrud that he had other great works to attend to and disappeared. However, he said that he would return to reunite at the time of the ''"Raheed-skeh"'' which was the appointed time when the tribes would come together for a final battle against the Yaam-khehkhoh.{{Fn|1}}
Inquisitor [[Maturin Ralei]] noted the similarity in the Hrud pantheon with other xenos species which included a [[Kurnous|horned hunter]], a [[Kaela Mensha Khaine|red-handed figure]], [[Cegorach|a laughing jester]] and a [[Vaul|hammer wielding artisan]].{{Fn|1}}
