Nu Ralik es una deidad que adoran los habitantes del Lagopuro en Roshar.[1]
Creencias
Rysn se da cuenta de que todas las personas del Lagopuro que se encuentra tienen mucho aprecio a sus dioses.[2] Los de este pueblo creen que Nu Ralik influecia sus vidas en gran medida. Ishikk cree que Nu Ralik es responsable tanto de la calidad de los peces que pesaca como de los dolores de dedos de Maib.[2] También cree que Nu Ralik tiene en sus manos el destino del pescador, y suele rezarle mentalmente por lo que le pueda venir en el futuro.[1]
“... Nu Ralik knew that the boundaries of nature were far more important than the boundaries of nations. Ishikk was a Purelaker. First and foremost. By tide and sun he was. ”
—Ishikk[1]
Nu Ralik has an indeterminate association with the natural world. Ishikk has little regard for kingdoms or borders, believing that Nu Ralik places precedence on natural boundaries.[1] Purelakers also have a strong penchant for being in the sunlight[3] and keeping their feet in the water to feel the tides;[1] Ishikk thinks "Nu Ralik forbid!" in regards to wearing a shirt.[1]
Secrecy
Although Nu Ralik is the true god of the Purelakers, in public they always swear by Vun Makak, Nu Ralik's jealous and spiteful younger brother.[1] They believe that they must trick Vun Makak into believing that they worship him instead.[1] They do not speak Nu Ralik's name outside of their holy grottos,[1] although in one instance a Purelaker invokes Nu Ralik's name when he is about to die.[3]
“ Oh, Nu Ralik ... We shouldn't have killed the guard. I just wanted ... wanted to see the sun again ... ”
Despite the efforts of the Purelakers, their worship of Nu Ralik is not completely secret, as both Jasnah Kholin and the Seventeenth Shard are aware that he is their true god.[4][1]
