Cicegeans worship Quei, a being which, according to the Cicegean founding legend, banished the Cicegeans to this world from its realm free of pain and suffering to atone for an unknown crime. Quei is known for being neither benevolent nor malevolent; its true motivations are ineffable to mortals. Cicegeans spend a great amount of effort to appease it, and pledge absolute loyalty out of fear and reverence.
Since the first bronze age cultures in Cicex, human and non-human sacrifice has been practiced, as a means to appease Quei. Today, this continues to be practiced by each faction within Cicex, as to gain favour to their cause. Tens of thousands of eligible captured POWs have been sacrificed every year since Cicex fell to warlordism.
