Religion (Setting)

The gods are an accepted part of the world. While there are theological disagreements between some religions, it is widely accepted that the gods are present, and have a vested interest in society. Religion is a part of life, and most people do worship either a pantheon as a whole, or choose one favored divinity as a patron god. The pantheons of Kith Kanaan include the Joshuite faith, which holds influence in Tarantis and R’Tal, the Arin pantheon, which is revered in Drachen and the Shire, the Taw'Hid branch of Joshuite Orthodoxy which resides in Anansie, the Cour des Esprits which rules Carcassonne, and the Rymnian faith which has come over from the world of Rym.

The presence of the gods is nearly everywhere. Not everyone has seen a divine messenger, but most people have witnessed miracles and will usually know someone who has received a visitation from one of the messengers. The divine’s touch is felt through the world, providing guidance and helping to shape civilization. Divine intervention often comes through the presence of an avatar, or through the messengers of the gods.
