Murgal

The Murgal are demons found in Yarlish faith. While the Murgal do exist within folklore of the Kahekhtát, they have only minor significance as opposed to other spirits. The Murtal feature prominently within Kamalči philosophy, as adversaries of the faithful. The etymology of the name Murgal is uncertain, but a common folk etymology is a compound of mur "foot" and kal "to praise", thus "praise of the feet" or "those who praise with their feet". For this reason, depictions of Murgalat often show them with feet instead of hands. Murgal are demon-like beings and they are thought to mock and ridicule the faithfule and pervert divine rituals. They are portrayed to pray with their feet as they aim to reverse the natural order and the natural law called Kas. The purpose of this mockery is to lead people astray. Murgalat aren't violent in their actions, but they pose an existential enemy of the belief of the Kamalči. The Murgalat represent idiocy and lack of purpose or even the desire to erase purpose from the world. As the Kamalči believe in good deeds, the Murgalat want to convince the faithful that all their deeds are ultimately devoid of purpose and meaning. That all their actions are futile. As such they might represent a perversion of the divine clowns, the Peke.
