Nrþk'irdu is the most commonly practiced Ukilen tribe religion in [[Kzmr]], being followed by the vast majority of the population. The religion is highly [[w:Worship of heavenly bodies|astrolatrous]], focusing on the glorification of various planetary bodies, stars, asterisms, and constellations. The astromantic systems of Nrþk'irdu are considerably robust, with the night sky being divided into the classical planets and the fixed stars, and divination involves only one of these at a time. Fixed-star divination is based on times of heliacal rising and setting and, to a lesser extent, the variability of the stars [[w:Mira|Mira]] and [[w:Beta Lyrae|Sheliak]], while planetary divination focuses on specific [[w:Astrological aspect|aspects]] rather than location within the fixed plane.

The ritual aspect of Nrþk'irdu is equally complex, with its most basic form consisting of the arrangement of objects or large-scale structures in accordance with specific star patterns as a means of 'invocation', and more sophisticated manners entailing elaborate consecration rituals for the objects used in this construction.
