The Kuduk Spirit Wars were a significant period of religious conflict in the history of the Kuduk people. Spanning from 1453 to 1673, the wars were marked by a series of major belligerent religious movements that replaced traditional warfare following the Shaman's Decree of 1453. This decree, issued by the Kuduk spiritual leader, declared that all disputes between different religious factions cannot be resolved by shedding blood. This led to a shift in the nature of warfare among the Kuduk, as religious leaders and their followers engaged in intense spiritual battles to determine the dominant Tribe of Kuduk. The wars were characterized by intense spiritual rituals, invocations of powerful spirits, and use of taboo magic such as káatan dolls and curses. The wars ultimately came to an end following the Great Blizzard of 1673. |
