The stony wastes of G'Henna are littered with towering statues of the beast-god Zhakata, who is always depicted as a monstrous creature squatting atop a pile of bones. Zhakata is not worshipped; he is appeased. The people of G'Henna believe that Zhakata exists in two aspects: the Devourer and the Provider. Sadly, G'Henna has experienced only the Devourer. Zhakata demands endless sacrifice, usually of foodstuffs but occasionally of living creatures. The Devourer is a god of cruel austerity; all crops must be donated to the priests of the great Temple of Zhakata, who deduct Zhakata's share, then dole out the rest back to the starving populace in meager portions.

Buying or selling food is a religious offense. Obesity is an act of sacrilege.

The people of G'Henna continue to make their painful sacrifices to Zhakata in the desperate hope that someday they will indeed appease him. On that legendary day, Zhakata will walk G'Henna in physical form and transform himself into Zhakata the Provider. Generations of G'Hennans have starved themselves to death in the hopes of someday earning the era of plenty that would follow.

In G'Henna, people observe no difference between civil and religious law. Clerics of Zhakata eat well, taking the best of the daily dole, and their word is law. However, all clerics must still defer to the commands of Zhakata's high priest, Yagno Petrovna.
