  ANIMISM 
  Animism is practiced by the Ebothi, Maelnach, and Callandae people, as well as the people of Yssgelund, Carmascia, Voruskai, Sarathia, 
  and Vinnisklad. Druids and clerics of animistic faiths are often called shamans and call upon the spirits of nature and their ancestors for 
  assistance and guidance. In addition, each clan reveres its legendary ancestors as godlings tied to the land and lifeblood of their people. 
  In most lands, animism is linked to the worship of the Elemental Lords who are the masters of air, earth, water, and fire. Among the 
  Maelnach, animism is tied to the worship of Caledh, who is believed to be the divine progenitor of their people. Gnolls and lizardmen also 
  practice animism but worship the demonic beings known as The Fallen Lords. Yssghul of The Fallen Lords is worshipped in Yssgelund, which 
  derives its name from her. 
   
  MONOTHEISM 
  The worship of a single deity is practiced in The Mauridian Empire. Here the demon Malbon is worshipped in the guise of Shar’edan, 
  Eternal Emperor of the Tribe of Maurid. Most supplicants of this faith have no notion as to the true nature of their patron deity, for such dark 
  wisdom only comes to those who devote themselves utterly to this foul god. 
   
  NONTHEIST PHILOSOPHY 
  The Narahim believe that all creation stems from a force they call Nara (the fountain). To the Narahim, Nara is 
  the font of order, tranquility, creativity, and creation. Birth, life, decay, and death are all part of a natural order 
  that perpetuates further growth and creation. Chaos, manifested through uncontrolled emotion, destruction, 
  and violence, goes against this order and forestalls it… but cannot hope to destroy order and halt creation. 
  Priests of this philosophy draw power from The Elemental Lords, as they are the architects of this world and the 
  progenitors of The Defiant Gods. 
   
  POLYTHEISM 
  Most of the civilized people of Gaile worship the gods of a pantheon. Among the dwarves, elves, the Avadain exiles of Mauridia, the 
  Callandae, and the people of The Great Dominions the pantheon of Defiant Gods is worshipped. Most monstrous races of Gaile tend 
  worship demonic beings known as The Fallen, while the alien creatures collectively called aberrations worship the Lords of Chaos that 
  they call The Great Old Ones.
