The dominant religion within the Kargol Confederation. While there is a great diversity of Kargol cultures, the majority share this faith, in large part because it is inclusively pantheistic.

Dujik is an intricate blend of ancestor worship, totemism, and theism. Believers honour their ancestors, their totem animals, the spirits of various sacred locations, and the spirits of households and cities. Dujik includes spirits and gods borrowed from various surrounding races, including most prominently a number of Solomani deities (as Solomani are a major minority demographic of the Kargol Confederation).

There is no single uniform standard of practice or belief, but commonly there are three large seasonal festivals a year, during which the Kargol honour their ancestors and local patron deities. Every city and nomad band celebrates these festivals somewhat differently, but the emphasis is usually on large parades along with massive offerings of food, flowers, and incense at temples. The lavish public displays during these festivals are a great contrast to the otherwise sedate Kargol way of life.
