Altum

What Altum is
Altum is a religion on Doggietopia. All Doggies following it believe in living extremely, as their catchphrase is 'What's the point in living a boring life?' A Doggie who follows this religion is called a Periculo.

On special days, they go to exciting places live high cliffs or theme parks. They dance to Altum music (Rock/Metal) before doing daredevil things, e.g skydiving or going on the highest coaster in the theme park. After that they eat Altum Food, which consists of a normal dinner, but with very hot sauce on top. Don't worry, they don't have hot sauce on EVERY meal, only when they meet up with other Periculos.

Rules of the Religion

 * 1) Do something daring every day. If you're ill, watch videos of Doggies doing daring things.
 * 2) Never take off your Altum Necklace.
 * 3) Make sure you look dangerous. Ear piercings and spiky belts are a good place to start.
 * 4) Say 'What's the point in living a boring life?' to Doggies that make fun of you, or ask why you're a Periculo.

Stories and Lessons
Periculos don't have lessons, but they read stories about Doggietopia's most dangerous daredevils to get inspiration. The book they get this from is called the Diabolica Liber. One story is about a Doggie called Rako Chihuahua, who rollerskated round a pit of lava and then swam in a monster lake, before using a super-powered trampoline to jump over a castle, in less than 5 minutes.

Special Place
The Periculos' special place is called the Diabolic Regis. Here, they read the Diabolica Liber together, chant Altum poems and eat Altum Food, all in that order. This takes 1 hour, and it happens every Wednesday and Friday.

To become a Periculo, Doggies have to book a Periculo Ceremony, and they must be at least 15 because being a Periculo can be dangerous. The next Monday, they go inside of the Diabolic Regis, where the other Periculos in the city will be waiting. The leader of the Diabolic Regis will have set up a daring and dangerous challenge inside the building, which the Periculo-to-be has no choice but to try. After that, they must eat rice covered in very hot sauce without water, and they must eat ALL of it. If the Doggie completes both tasks, the leader will pronounce them a Periculo, and give them an Altum Necklace (a small necklace with black lightning bolts all around it) while the others cheer and applaud.
