Look upon him and understand where he came from, know him by the hue of his skin and the paleness in his eyes. This is the /lig/ger, the stoic, the devout, the comical. The blue men of the west whose reach streches across the world and prods and pokes at borders with divine providence, the men of /lig/ and by that same class the keepers of the /lig/gian faith.
/lig/'s first prophet was a man whose name is lost to the annals of history save for the title of Ligma, the title of which still holds presidence and status today amongst all who dwell in the lands of /lig/. It is said by some that Ligma came to the land where /lig/ now stands in despair, his faith in the corponic pantheons eternally disillusioned, others say that Ligma always knew of his destiny and walked the path accordingly without pain or sorrow, while others yet say that Ligma was a blind and deaf man who knew of no divinity and no love in the world. No matter his true origins, the expanse of divinity revealed itself to Ligma where he stood and an ancient phrase of power echoed through the roots of every tree and caused the air to tremble and twist at its power, Ligma penned his divine revelations and so it was that the Book of Lig was authored and spread about, uniting those that could be united and making known the shared divinity of those large indies and the charge of Ligma was maintained to protect the devouts of /lig/ and to bring up great places of worship and celebration for the /lig/ger and his loved and so it was and so it shall always be that the Ligma holds station over these things.
The Ligma is the highest council of authority in the lands of /lig/ though they are one of quiet and contemplation, the Ligma rules indirectly and in each region of Lig is a representative of the Ligma known as the Ligma Boz who holds authority in regards to the matter of maintaining the peace between different /lig/gian tribes and defending against the foreign accostment which is known to occur in lands marred by the scent of the schizo. It is said that after some time, the Ligma will retreat totally and meditate on the revelations bestowed by the original Ligma and that they will understand and, in so doing, come apart like dust and sand in the wind at the immensity of the secret unraveled, at which point, the new Ligma is chosen by edict of their will or lacking that, chosen from the many /lig/ tribes in a grand poll though the latter is rare and violence often comes with it.
The ligger is an ethnic identity within /lig/, one that makes up a large percentage of the total population and which works to fully construct and understand the pantheon of /lig/. Their skin is a hue of blue that varies in pitch, and their eyes are pale and sometimes even clear depending on their age. They are a well built people with most of a peak physique and dense musculature, which they will need in their long life to come for the /lig/ger is a working man and their devotion to the collective goddesses of /lig/ is one many come to kneel towards and which has gained the ligger men much praise for the ligger crafts a new artwork or devotional crafting to their pantheon and presents it to the heavens each coming dawn. The /lig/ger promotes their chuuba to far off lands and prides themself on the knowledge of the many facets of /lig/gian divinity. They are tradesmen and scholars, though while they are powerful, they are known to lack a taste for conflicts. Thus, it is that the /lig/ger, on average, is a man of unity and peace who would rather break bread than bone. A last notable peculiar feature of the /lig/gers is the very low count of females in their ranks, which might explain their general subservience to the other ethnic races that share divine ethnologic traits with their /lig/ goddesses.
It is to be noted that a /lig/ger and a /lig/gian are not synonymous as while a /lig/ger is always a /lig/gian, a /lig/ian is not always a /lig/ger.
