Noradzeer the Nogar

The Ra-Kacharz, once the rat catchers of Hira, are the priests of Noradz. They uphold the laws of cleanliness, watchfulness, and duty; bless and inspect food; and rule the city. The Nine are revered and feared by their subjects, whom they keep under strict rule. The red-clad Ra-Kacharz swath their faces in red cloth and carry whips. When they speak the word "Noradzeer" and sweep their hands from shoulders to hips, the people of Noradz echo the word and motion.
