Tenets

The followers of Stone Shamanism believed that stone was holy and it was profane to set foot on it.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content They also believed it unholy to use gems filled with Stormlight as light sources or for ornamentation. However, the greatest of all sins was considered to be murder.

Death & Afterlife

When people who followed Stone Shamanism died, their souls were, "given to the stones". Truthless were included in this as well, but only if they kept to their way of life. Even if they followed the holder of their Oathstone and performed all their duties perfectly, they were believed to be subject to eternal punishment. Truthless were also not believed to be absolved of their sins.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
