Shamanism

The origins of shamanism are as old as Tirakan itself. Ever since there have been living beings on Tirakan, there have also been people spiritually connected to them. The shaman and his totem (also called a spirit animal by academic magicians) are united by a special bond that can hardly be grasped or even understood by outsiders. The totem, which chooses the shaman, determines the shaman's ideals and behavior.
