HUMAN RELIGIONS

Ceryth Taybor 

Sumerian is now the official religion within the human kingdom. Several centuries ago, other more tribal mythoi were prominent, but those have all been wiped out by the introduction of the gods of Sumer. Each major city in Ceryth Taybor honors a patron deity. The nature goddess Ki is also accepted and honored by many secular westerners, such as in Kapur and Urlin, although she is never considered a true Sumerian goddess by the Cerythian clerics. (The Sumerian church is lenient with followers of Ki, but still works diligently to diminish the influence of the "barbaric" goddess on Cerythian citizens.)

Saraamon 

This area’s faith is Celtic, and the few true clerics that are found here are usually druids. There are shrines and churches in all the baronies, but most are overseen by believers who are good at heart but lack holy powers of true priests or druids. Elvish and human theologians believe that the clerics of Saraamon were a sub-sect of the Servants of Ki, broken away millennia ago.

Gerallik

Finnish deities are worshipped by the people of the south, as they were in their fatherland of Askigar. The clerics have a reputation for being arrogant, and they have few qualms about using their holy powers to harshly chastise anyone who offends them or their gods.

Niryusk

While there are very few human clerics of modern mythoi found here, those that do exist follow Norse theology, a religion that dates back farther than any can recall in this land. Also prominent are the abundant common shamanistic religions of the region, honoring minor demigods or elemental powers.

Bojorn

There is no major religion here. While individuals or groups may worship as they see fit, no organized widespread doctrine holds sway here. (Many of the larger well-known nomadic human tribes practice a type of elemental worshipping, but they don’t consider the elements their "gods".)

Kyriss

Norse mythology and several smaller shamanistic religions are popular among the humans and even dwarves here. There are very few organized Norse churches in existence, thanks to the efforts of the Dark Lord. With the arrival of the vampire Vahk Malyr, some humans (mostly barbarian tribes) have actually taken to honoring him as a dark god come to earth.

NONHUMAN RELIGIONS

Naturally, the demihumans and humanoids of Penderyn have their own well-established pantheons and practices, most of which have undergone no significant change in millennia, if ever.

With the exception of the holy war that makes up the backdrop of the eternal enmity between the elves and orc races, there has never been an inter-racial religious conflict involving the inhabitants of Penderyn. While it is rare, it is not unheard of for a member of one race to adopt the religion of another. (The Penderyn elves include Ki in their pantheon, though she was not originally among their gods and is not an elf. Some Kalimarin folk of both races honor dwarven and human gods simultaneously, and Shire halflings and gnomes see little harm in occasionally including each other’s priests in festivals or services.)
