Oracles religion #1218

I would like to make a suggestion to create a unique faith for the Gorlocs that would represent the "Oracles" faction in wow. As copied from wowpedia: "The gorlocs that inhabit the Borean Tundra act similar to their Murloc descendants: hostile and primitive. Those that inhabit Scholazar Basin have a more complex culture. These gorlocs revere the rare albino tickbird as a sign of heavy rainstorms, good grub harvests and hibernating wolvar. Above all however, they revere the Titan technology and crystals that granted them true sentience, though they don't really have an understanding of the artifacts they are guarding. The crystals have tangible effects on Sholazar's environment and weather. The Oracles see themselves as guardians of these powers and go to great lengths to ensure they are safe from those that would misuse it, such as the Frenzyheart Tribe of Wolvar and the Scourge."

I would suggest making them a hydromantic faith with communal identity, order syncretism, and esotericism. Esotericism to represent their use of the titan crystals. Even if they don't understand them, they still like to study and use them. If that doesn't seem like a good fit for esotericism this could instead be replaced with Sanctity of Nature to represent their reverence to the jungle of the basin itself. Doctrine suggestions would include fundamentalism (so they can revoke titles from fetishistic vassals due to their war with the wolvar), lay clergy, a temporal head of faith (High Oracle with the theocratic duchy title being "The Oracles"), light magic, fire magic, and earth magic ignored. Shadow magic, fel magic, and death magic criminal, Air magic and water magic harmonized, nature magic accepted, and Arcane magic idolized (due to their importance on titan crystals and their use of them, due to order syncretism this will work regardless of if you go hydromantic or titanic), equal gender (as well as for clerics), cleric marriage allowed. Rulers should have Soo-added to their name as part of their title, and holy sites can be Maker's Overlook, Lifeshard, Rainspeaker, Ulduar, and Dun Niffelem.
