Society

Theocracy with esoteric fundamentalism. /meat/ society is primarily divided into worker-raiders and noble-clergy.

Architecture

Cities under the auspice of the clergy are well-maintained. Streets are brick-laid, buildings are made of marble and steel. All corners of the cities are adorned with reliefs and paintings glorifying their faith. On the other hand, rural settlements are less sophisticated, relying more on traditional materials like wood, stones, bricks, and lime plasters. The unifying factor is the temple located in the heart of each settlement, where religious rituals and secular administration are carried out.

Religion

/meat/ religion is centred around the cycle of life: birth, suffering, death, and rebirth. It preaches that participating in each step of the cycle brings one closer to enlightenment. However, the heavenly realm's overpopulation of static, immortal chuuba gods throws the cycle off-balance. Believing that it will ultimately lead to the apocalypse, /meat/ takes it upon themselves to cull the chuuba population to restore the balance.
Many in /meat/ believes in the existence of some kind of life energy permeating the cycle, which can be enriched or activated by partaking in steps of the cycle. This can be achieved by causing and receiving the steps fully, especially when involving sentient beings due to the potency of their experience. While this applies to all beings, the stagnant immortality of chuuba gods makes them the prime targets.
/meat/'s understanding of the steps is often broader than most typically think. For example, the idea of rebirth does not refer solely to the restoration of the dead, but also the creation and sustenance of life from death. The rebirth of /meat/ chuubas through regeneration of flesh allows them to partake in the cycle indefinitely, compared with their static, immortal counterparts. As such, they're revered by /meat/.

History

/meat/ holy text claims their faith has existed since the ancient days of /jp/. As bearers of forbidden knowledge, they were shunned by others, leading to their eventual exodus to the land that is now /meat/. Establishing themselves above the natives who later become instruments of their will, they continue their worship of their gods, refining their rituals and conducting their holy work.
The Blood River is used by the cultists to conduct sacrifices. Blood, flesh, and bones are carried downstream. The abundance of organic material renders the riverbank fertile, and natives began fashioning them into all kinds of tools and materials, gradually making them master crafters of human remains.

Economy

The main exports of /meat/ are cocoa, mercenaries, and exotic meat. Its advanced, if horrifying medical knowledge makes /meat/ the unlikely salvation of the desperate whose ailments are otherwise deemed incurable, at the risk of a terrible price.

Region

A: Atoyavik. It is the population centre of /meat/, thanks to the nutritious blood river flowing through it. Its industry and commerce fuel the rest of /meat/. Its name is a hybrid of the two main languages of the land, roughly meaning "bay [beneath] where things are thrown into the river".
B: Matiriki. It houses the core of its seafaring navy.
C: Ryonaheim. It is home to its landbound army.
D: Nacatlan. Its name means "land around/beneath flesh". The highland city is where the majority of its secular government functions are conducted, making it the de facto capital of the land.
E: Nacatlah. Meaning "land abundant with flesh", it is home to the clergy-nobles of /meat/. The main cathedral is built around a spring that is the source of the Blood River.
F: [redacted]. Some believe this isolated island is home to /meat/'s test facilities, where medical procedures and experiments deemed too macabre or dangerous for the mainland are conducted.
G: Namakubi. An island serving as /meat/'s forward base. Due to /meat/'s propensity to harvest resources from its victims, the island is commonly used to plan raids and hold the bounties before they are shipped back to the mainland.

Wonder

The Blood River. It flows from the main cathedral in Nacatlah through Nacatlan before ending in Atoyavik. Since the arrival of the cult, the river has been used to wash away the flesh and blood of human sacrifices. Although the blood is too diluted to actually turn the river red, the nutrients made it bountiful and the rusty riverbanks fertile. According to /meat/ religious text, the river will truly turn red when enough has been sacrificed to restore the cycle's balance.
A large coral reef off the coast of /meat/. It poses significant navigational hazards to ships unfamiliar with the area. It is used by /meat/ to defend against invasions by sea.
