Religion[]

The Cult of Ghatanothoa[]

The public's fear of Ghatanothoa made his devoted priests the most powerful group in K'naa with the ear of the king. Each of the hundred priests had "a marble house, a chest of gold, two hundred slaves and a hundred concubines, besides immunity from civil law and and the power of life and death over all in K'naa". A series of High Priests like Imash-mo oversaw state ceremonies including the Nath-feast and the annual sacrifice of 12 young warriors and 12 young maidens to Ghatanothoa.
