Editing Ksarul (section)

==Ksarulite Worship==

Ksarul is very much a deity of night and darkness; his daily worship begins with The Ceremony of the Opening of the Dark  which occurs at sunset. Processionals and the sounding of Tunkul-gongs announce the onset of Ksarul's Dominion of the Night.

Once full dark has occurred, The Awakening in Azure is observed.

At midnight, Victory of the Master of the Planets celebrates the full victory of Lord Ksarul over the whole universe, which will occur at the End of Time

Just before dawn, The End of the Rule of Night announces the temporary retreat before the light of Lord Hnalla, but also affirms the inevitable return of Ksarul's might, just as night follows day.

The result is that most of the temple staff are effectively nocturnal; only a shift of temple guards and those priests responsible for teaching lay members' children are awake during much of the day.

Priests of Ksarul wear black robes with silver masks depicting the balndly smiling and freindly face of their deity, and sqaure mortarboard like head-dresses, female priests have black wooden masks of the same kind. This kit is stiflingly hot, and unless they are attending a ceremony most priests will just wear the hat with a black and deep blue collar and a black kilt with a silver belt. Unlike priests of other religions Ksarulites do not wear insignia depicitng their Circle rank; you often have no idea if you are talking to a junior clerk or a temple commandant, and given the vagaries of the Inner Sphere system the junior clerk may in fact have more authority.
