The Blessed of Morr are fanatics who believe Morr's Realm is a place of peace, plenty, and pleasure. They look forward to death, both as a release from the sufferings of this life, and as the time at which they enter the paradise of their God. This general belief appears spontaneously, and those who hold it often commit suicide in a holy place of Morr, in the hope this will speed their entry to his realm. Priests of Morr discourage this as far as possible, as cleaning up afterwards is very annoying.[1a]
The Blessed of Morr survive as a sect because they believe killing yourself is deeply impious. Instead, they believe all souls must undergo a certain amount of suffering before they are worthy to enter Morr’s realm. Those within the sect debate the question of whether that amount is the same for all souls, but it makes little practical difference. All agree that when a soul has suffered enough, Morr gathers it to his realm, to eternal bliss. Thus, they believe if you increase the amount of pain and suffering in your life, you will go to Morr sooner.[1a][1b]
Surprisingly enough, people who torture themselves do have shorter life expectancies than those who do not.[1b]
Members of this sect tend to be less public than many flagellants, although they do not keep their beliefs secret. They prefer to inflict constant pain on themselves during daily life, rather than to scourge themselves in public. Thus, shoes and belts with spikes on the inside are popular, as are abrasive clothes designed to rub the skin raw. They also take jobs that involve hard, ideally painful, work, or take on very dangerous jobs, in the hope this will make Morr take them sooner. The cult hierarchy clearly states the Blessed are heretics, but very few priests waste any effort on persecuting them.[1b]
