	Due to the decentralised nature of Weishii, the Federation and notable Weishii followers have been unable to provide a clear list of requirements for Weishii priests. As such, the only requirement for an employed priest of the Weishii faith is that they are ~~either~~ currently a Journeyman ~~or Master~~ of the Weishii faith, and have received some form of formal education in theological studies.

	Followers of Qeblak believe that calculations through a process known as Zareq’Eaq, or Cosmic Mathematics, it is possible to predict terrestrial events from celestial observations. These events include those that can be observed through regular astronomy while including more astrological and religious ideas. An observation of a moon's orbit, along with the time of year, its current phase, and other factors can be combined to create a prediction on how these events will impact local events from mood changes to agricultural yields and natural disasters. Zareq’Eaq involves an extremely confusing practice of calculations of star positions and constellations that often takes decades to master, and most non-clergy find this impossible to do, instead relying on Starkeepers. Skrell proficient at Zareq’Eaq will often find themselves working in the field of bluespace navigation, due to their mathematical prowess. It is not unusual for Qeblak clergy to have served a stint on a Federation vessel as a bluespace navigator as a result. ~~Bluespace Navigat~~ Interestingly, the C’thur hive’s Vaurca have shown to be extremely adept at this practice, to the point where they are often sought out as Starkeeper assistants due to their proficiency in Zareq’Eaq. Their actual belief in the faith is not considered a barrier by many in the Qeblak clergy, with many Starkeepers and Starchanters appreciating the ease in workload.

	Members of the Qeblak faith come together on a biweekly basis at their local Observatory Dome, a building that acts as both a church and a place of astronomical study. The [[Nralakk Federation]] does its best to ensure that at least one Observatory Dome is within a reasonable distance per thousand Qeblak followers, and that everyone has reasonable access to its facilities.

	Weishii first took its roots from a prominent Lyukal leader, Qare’Zaq Marayar, who was one of the fighters who took part in the [[Skrell_Synthetic_Age#Culmination_of_Glorsh-Omega\|Tri-Qyu assault]]. Marayar became disillusioned after Glorsh's rule, unable to fully come to terms with the consequences of the tyrant's reign and becoming heavily religious in the years after as a result. Unsatisfied with Qeblak and concluding that it could not fully answer their questions on life, especially after Glorsh-Omega's treatment of the Skrell, Marayar began exploring other means of communing with the stars. Marayar claimed that through spirituality only the true meaning of the stars can be ascertained. Many Skrell, traumatized and battered from the chaos that Glorsh wrought upon them, took solace in this belief. Despite the Federation being fractured, Weishii began spreading steadily, originating in the Traverse and being spread through the mass migration of Skrell followers into both the core and Traverse systems as part of the Federation's reconstruction efforts. Around 2163, the Ron’tor’aq was published, a series of intricate teachings on the Weishii faith published by Marayar themselves, and this book quickly became the cornerstone of Weishii beliefs. By the time the [[Tresja Agreement]] took place and the Federation was officially reunified, there was a substantial population of Weishii followers, and the religion took hold, particularly in the Traverse where many planets suffered heavy devastation as a result of the post-Glorsh cataclysm that occurred. However, from the start, there was always conflict with Qeblak. Debates were commonplace, , with one of the most notable ones being the Haq’Zaq debate, in 2200, held on Mount Haq’Zaq on Qerrbalak. This debate was held over the course of a week and concluded with the Federation officially recognizing Weishii as a distinct religion from Qeblak despite pushback from the clergy and more traditionalist devotees of Qeblak.

	Attitudes towards Weishii further declined as the Federation’s elite began espousing the importance of unity and the Nlom Relay network was restored. While not explicitly prohibiting the religion, many idols began to criticize the unorganized and spiritual fashion of Weishii compared to the more stringently organized and well-established Qeblak.

While not explicitly prohibiting the religion, many idols began to criticize the unorganized and spiritual fashion of Weishii compared to the more stringently organized and well-established Qeblak.
	Towards the present day, many members of alternative religions such as Kir’gul and Suur’ka have flocked to Weishii due to its decentralized nature and looser oversight from the Federation. The disorganized nature of the Weishii has resisted Federation attempts to implement a formal hierarchal structure, with Weishii sects often choosing religious clergy through democracy instead of strict criteria. Weishii sects are especially prominent as one goes further out into the Traverse, with Skrell living there finding themselves less inclined to follow Federation ideals due to the conditions they face and a generally weaker presence of the Nlom. Following first contact, there has been a noticeable migration of Weishii followers out of the Federation, claiming that they felt persecuted by the rest of Federation society. While Weishii is still widespread, their followers are rarely in the high castes of Skrell society.

	For Kir’gul communities in the Traverse, this means avoiding gaining the ire of the Federation in the first place. If conflict is unavoidable, hyper-defensive strategies are preferred, such as the layering of defences or distraction tactics to stall Federation authorities until everyone has fled. As a result of this, it is not uncommon to see Kir’gul practitioners seeking refuge in Traverser communities foreign to them or seeking asylum in the Republic of Biesel. This has led to the stereotype of Kir’gul adherents being impoverished and draining resources and employment opportunities of non-Kir’gul communities.

	There is a small, but notable Kir’gul population in Biesel, as Kir’gul adherents were one of the groups that felt they were at risk during the Federation’s advance into the Traverse. Kir’gul’s presence in the Starlight Zone has caused subtle changes; Kir’gul buildings have appeared, distinguishable for their ~~aluminum~~ linings that seal the adherents off from other skrell and their unique and artistic design compared to more traditional Skrell architecture.

	Kir’myaq roughly translates to ‘Exploration Mentor/Guru’. While there is no defined hierarchy or clergy, as such institutions would also go against the tenet of free-will and individuality, it isn’t uncommon for experienced Kir’gul adherents to find their meaning in devoting themselves to teaching Kir’gul and becoming a Kir’myaq. Those who choose this path often uphold the various tenets of Kir’gul, having completed or made it a significant way through their journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance and self-expression.

	The Qu’Srom is often done in conjunction with a large gathering of Skrell at Weishii sanctuaries, as it allows for high-scale dream modification that enhances the divination process with the stars. A more personal version of this ritual can be done either alone or with a small group, but this is more common when a believer finds themselves without a nearby Weishii Sanctuary or while traveling. Skrell who perform Qu’Srom rituals regularly has shown a higher level of activity in their Zona Bovinae during Srom. They have shown proficient levels of skill within the Dream, able to do feats of dream manipulation uncommon to most Skrell. This phenomenon is especially pronounced in Weishii masters and journeymen. Believers who claim to have achieved this attunement describe it as “having their brain divinely imprinted with an intense understanding of the universe and life itself.” Qeblak believers vehemently deny this concept, the phenomenon being considered just a matter of practice in the Srom and having nothing to do with divine blessing.

	While Weishii and Qeblak follow the same basic belief of finding divinity in the stars through observing constellations, their beliefs often come into conflict. While Qeblak might encourage heavy education, both recognized academic education such as astronomy and education more related to religious concepts, to gain true knowledge of the cosmos, along with rigid calculations and scientific methods, Weishii believes the same may be achieved by guided meditation and the use of psychedelics, along with strong emotional experiences shared with other Skrell. However, compared to the average Skrell, Weishii followers consume wulumunsha at a higher rate and regularly use it for Qwei’Paqui readings, which is often seen by other Skrell as a form of overindulgence, especially by those who have a high Social ~~Credit Score~~. This has led to a popular stereotype of devout Weishii believers being known as lazy layabouts compared to their Qeblak counterparts, and overall unideal citizens. Evidence of this can be seen by critical observers of the Social ~~Credit System~~, who note that there are very few Weishii followers who are upper Secondaries or higher.

	Weishii relies on natural groves, jetties, grottos, thickets, coves, and other secluded areas that provide suitable sanctuaries to practice the faith. This reliance on nature has resulted in it playing an important role in the Weishiin faith; followers are more likely to have an appreciation for nature, while the more ardent followers will practice vegetarianism or veganism. Weishii as a whole does not put as much emphasis on academia when compared to those who follow Qeblak, although they are still subjected to the same cultural expectations of the Nralakk Federation. This has led to a trend where many Weishii followers abstain from Depth College, claiming that the intense schooling is disruptive to their beliefs and spirituality, and hinders their path to reaching full divinity from the stars. Many Weishii followers will stop their education after their first or second degree, with those holding more than two degrees typically being converts or followers who require three degrees for one reason or another.

	Weishii has long been regarded by many Skrell to be a religion that breeds laziness and goes against the academic culture that Skrell is known for, a belief that becomes even more prominent when looking at high-scoring Skrell within the Social ~~Credit System~~. The Nralakk Federation officially makes no distinction between Qeblak and Weishii, treating both as equally sanctioned religions within Federation space. However, in practice, Qeblak is the religion most favored by the Federation, and the Federation prefers this division between the two faiths. Weishii members often struggle to achieve upward mobility in the ~~social credit system~~ compared to their Qeblak peers, with the Federation citing that these citizens "simply do not uphold the same level of commitment to the values core to the Nralakk Federation” when asked for reasoning for their stagnant ~~social credit score~~. A majority of Primary Numericals are devout Qeblak followers and often look down on Weishii, while Primary Numericals who do follow Weishii tend to avoid bringing attention to that fact to prevent any repercussions.

	Weishii and Qeblak followers often have conflicts abroad due to the difference in beliefs and popular stereotyping of Weishii followers as unproductive. While these conflicts rarely escalate to violence, the division between the two religions has only been widening throughout modern Skrell history. Many Weishii followers envy the privilege that Qeblak followers often have towards their ~~Social Credit Score~~ and general treatment. Popular stereotypes amongst Qeblak followers include Weishii followers holding anti-Federation beliefs, having low ~~social credit scores~~, hailing from the Traverse, and in rare cases being subversive or members of a criminal organization.

	Suur’ka began as an ideology during the reign of Glorsh-Omega as a practiced state of mind to keep up resistance against the AI. After Tri-Qyu, the ideology gained major popularity for a time in the form of hardened resistance veterans. The practice was lightly codified by an anonymous resistance veteran who gave the ideology its name from one of their fallen comrades, Gaalp Suur’ka, who allegedly embodied these traits during their fight against Glorsh. Later on, Lorash Qui’xo, a re-educated Suur’ka follower published a more widely viewed paper on modern Suur’ka beliefs as an academic research paper that turned into an easy to follow guide.
