Tomba ga lata gag hu boq, u vha gata a’u bhola lo qai vota kara qota hu.
Tomba ga gag qhut uta ‘uatha arut o hu gai
bad ara’ mar ng uta gai
Gug Tum Bruk ka mar gai ata kahai bruk,
Lo Gug Tum Bruk ka gra tu duta szi tu.

-a'u kara gai Kutu

Translation:
Imagine, if you will, a city so small that the tip of a hair is as a great plain to it.
Now imagine the smallest mote of dust in that city;
on that mote there lives a cat,
and that cat’s breath is Gug Tumbruk
as much as the sky and the stars are Gug Tumbruk

-from the teachings of Kutu

A religion most popular among the Great Ogres. Founded by the Prophet Kutu during the Bloodstained Aeon, it is a peaceful, monastic religion. Followers worship a single, transcendent God, Gug Tumbruk, the Creator of the World, and seek Unity with him. Kutu is believed to have attained such unity, and, as such, is prayed to as well- followers knowing that h is Gug Tumbruk, in the same way that Gug Tumbruk is Gug Tumbruk, and all who have achieved Unity are Gug Tumbruk.

Ogre Monks in vast, brown tunics and wide-brimmed hats are a familiar sight along roads the world over.

Morality


If you want power, seek out power; If you want glory, earn glory.
If money is as venison to you, turn to business or to robbery.
If your soul will not rest until it is avenged, by all means seek out vengance.

But I caution you: know yourself. Kingship is a hammer; the builder's
pride lies in his home. Glory is an oven; the chef's pride lies in the
meal. Money is but a canvas; the painter revels in the beauty of his
work. And revenge is but an arrow; the hunter slays the deer for food,
that he might live.
- From the Teachings of Kutu.

Tumbruk, perhaps oddly for such a peaceful religion, has little to say of morality. The material world is said to be completely illusory compared to the actuality of Gug Tumbruk; as such, it is not even worth rejecting or regulating.
Instead, Tumbruk sees as the highest good the pursuit of happiness, and merely advises that the material world, being inherently meaningless, holds little promise for its attainment.
Ascetism isn't encouraged, per se - there can hardly be virtue in rejecting something completely irrelevant.
