Editing TROS in the Hammer:Setting Religion (section)

===Where did it all come from?===
In the time before the Sky Fire, people lived much as they do now.  However, as time went on, people turned more and more away from the true knowledge of God, called kapitalism.  God became very angry about this, and decided to destroy all human kind.  However, one group of people still pleased God with their ways; the Amerks.  God sent them some warning as to what was about to happen, and the Amerks hid themselves deep in the Earth.

Then, God sent the Sky Fire, and burned the world, making it new.  For a time after that, the world was unclaimed; in fact, humans didn't even understand the value of things.  They grubbed around, scraping up a meager existence, beating up on their neighbors, etc., with no real purpose in life.  

Then, from deep within the Earth, the Amerks returned.  These people were different from the other humans; they wielded great magics, such as chariots that would travel under their own power, and staves which could shoot fire.  But they were very weak; a horrible, disfiguring disease had taken many of them, and scarred many others (it is from this that the practice of wearing masks among the Niarch is derived).  The Amerks believed that this disease was the last weapon used against them by their God-hating enemies.  The Amerks took women and men from among the locals, the Niarch, and bred with them, and taught them many of their secrets.  More importantly, the Amerks brought the philosophy of kapitalism with them.  In time, the original Amerks all passed away, but their blood still flows in the Niarch, the Amerks' heirs.

Its important to note the position of kapitalisme on Spirits.  According to the ancient teachings of the Amerk, Spirits are products of God, placed in the World to be servants to humanity.
