These people were agnostic. They briefly heard about gods from other civilizations they attacked, but they thought it was a load of lies.
At one point, they controlled all of the pacific, but explorers with guns took all of the islands, except hiopko. The people left, fearing the explorers would take hiopko.
They came across an island in 10000 islands, near exactly the same as hiopko, they even named the island hiopko.
