==Worship== Each race of Destruction (and their various subcultures) has their own separate interpretation of Gorkamorka, and most of them have their own priesthood with their own ways of communing with him. *The closest thing the [[Ironjawz]] have to priests are the Warchanters, mystical pseudo-musicians who are said to constantly hear the twin heartbeats of Gork and Mork. They prefer the Gorky way of doing things. *The [[Bonesplitterz]] believe his spirit can be found in all great beasts, and can be harnessed through slaying them and taking their bones. Their Wurrgog Prophets are believed to be his mortal messengers even by other Orruk clans, though seeing as they are quite insane most of them don't have anything useful to say. *The [[Kruleboyz]] stick to the Morky side of things, being the sneaky gits they are. Recently they've started worshipping [[Kragnos]] alongside him. *The Moonclan Grots worship him through the [[Bad Moon]], a grotesque planetoid that travels through the realms spreading darkness and madness wherever it goes. In addition, their Fungoid Cave-Shamans are believed to be able to communicate with Mork through ingesting copious amounts of mushrooms, causing them to be respected by all his worshippers and act as the closest thing Destruction has to grand strategists. *The Spiderfang Grots worship the [[Spider-God]], who they claim was an ordinary spider that gained Gorkamorka's power when it bit him on the toe. They also revere the Bad Moon, albeit they believe its the Spider God's eggsack that will one day hatch to release hordes of spiders all across the realms. Their priesthood are the Webspinner Shamans, who commune with the Arachnarok Spiders they believe to be the Spider-God's mortal avatars. *The Gitmob Grots are said to see his face in the blazing light of Hysh. They worship him through the Evil Sun, Glareface Frazzlegit. *The Gutbusters worship him as the [[Gulping God]]. According to their myths, their race was created from Gorkamorka's saliva, and so they believe that their purpose is to be his instrument to consume the realms. Their priesthood is the Butchers and Slaughtermasters, who interpret his will through gory rituals involving entrails. *The [[Beastclaw Raiders]] worship him as the Hungering Predator, a god of winter and the hunt. Their priesthood are the Huskard Torrs, mysterious figures believed to have their souls frozen by the [[Everwinter]]. As part of their beliefs, the BCR will leave their dead brothers (and the occasional hogtied prisoner) behind to be consumed by the Everwinter as an offering. *The Firebellies worship him as the Sun-Eater, who ate the Red Sun of Ghur and from it gained the power to breathe fire, creating the Realm of Aqshy in the process. *Gargants don’t really have priests (barring King Brodd’s title of “Priest-King of Behemat), and most are barely even literate enough to understand religious beliefs at all. The Sons of Behemat however, maintain that Gorkamorka is the Godstompa, a titanic sized stomping foot, with their forebearer Behemat serving as his chosen champion. When he’s split into Gorkfoot and Morkfoot, the Gargants will say one is “stompy yet kicky”, while the other is “kicky yet stompy”. *It is not just the races of Destruction that worship Gorkamorka. Jordaeus of the Anvils of the Heldenhammer Stormhost notes how that there are numerous “war-cults” devoted to the green god in the [[Cities of Sigmar]]. Even the Spider-God, known to others as the “Scuttling Queen” among the more unsavory parts of the cities (meaning mostly dark aelves). {{AoS-Gods}} {{Destruction-Gods}} [[Category:40k and Fantasy Gods]] [[Category:Age of Sigmar]] [[Category:Orcs & Goblins]]
