-**//Tkanala'ned//** is a [[:kavkem]] [[kavkem:mythology]] both best referred to and translated literally as //Hellhere// (from the kavkem words [[kendane͡ivash:word:tkanala]] and [[kendane͡ivash:word:ned]]). As a faith, it is fairly far removed from //[[kavkem:mythology:Taaravahr]]//.
+**//Tkanala'ned//** is a [[:kavkem]] [[kavkem:mythology]] both best referred to and translated literally as //Hellhere// (from the kavkem words //tkanala// (hell) and //ned// (here)). As a faith, it is fairly far removed from //[[kavkem:mythology:Taaravahr]]//, considering its teachings mostly allegorical.
 It can be encountered in Upper [[planet:nekenalos:Cetaros]], where its various forms dominate absolutely.

 ===== Cosmology =====
-Believers in //Tkanala'ned// assume that they are caught in a kind of purgatory or hell. They are one of the few kavkema that oppose //[[kendane͡ivash:word:qasai]]// (mercy killing) and suicide - they believe that death does not at all help them escape this world, but simply forces them to reincarnate. Some sub-flavours of //Tkanala'ned// believe that each reincarnation makes the world worse for them and thus are actively terrified of death.
+Believers in //Tkanala'ned// assume that they are caught in a kind of purgatory or hell. They are one of the few kavkema that oppose //[[:kavkem:society:qasai]]// (mercy killing) and suicide - they believe that death does not at all help them escape this world, but simply forces them to reincarnate. Some sub-flavours of //Tkanala'ned// believe that each reincarnation makes the world worse for them and thus are actively terrified of death.
 To a believer of //Tkanala'ned//, the only way to escape the purgatory is to remember the misdeeds that brought them here in the first place. They are thus extremely prone to the trappings of believing even [[:Nayabaru]] that accuse them of misdeeds and will gladly to admit to anything, hoping that maybe they might get lucky and actually uncover the misdeed.

 In //Tkanalakys Nuna//, all kavkema are actually reincarnated Nayabaru, and Tkanala shares its physical manifestation with the real world. Believers of this flavour of //Tkanala'ned// will usually be subservient toward Nayabaru and try their utter best to make the Nayabaru be gentle and/or forgiving as not to damn them to the same fate. Of course, the Damned don't actually need to care, so not all kavkema of this fate do this, especially not after trying it once and failing, and coming out the other end hating both the Nayabaru and themselves.
-In //Tkanaladaryr//, hell looks nothing like the real world and ecology and social structures are nothing at all like they are in hell, i.e. creatures that are kavkema in hell might have been something else entirely - from a different planet, a different plane of existence, or not even sapient. A frequent assumption is that they might have once looked like the [[:kiikam|Howlers]], and that if they can find their personal Howler, it would be like looking in the mirror, and they could determine what they'd done wrong.

 ===== Rituals and spirituality =====
-Tkanala'ned [[kavkem:ryrhakenem|ryrhakenema]] are expected to be therapists. They’re likely the only ryrhakenema that are willing to submit another kavkem to hypnosis - and do this regularly, obviously with the intention of unveiling memories of the past.

 ===== Competing faiths =====
 //Tkanala'ned// is dominant in Upper Cetaros and practically uncontested there. At the 'southern' fringes of its territorial spread, however, the territories of //Tkanuna// begin to come into contact with //[[Kiivenara]]// (Dance of Suns).
