Patron of the North

Doctrine: Sehendera is the source of all creation, embodying the pure essence of light and order. Followers believe the Flame resides in every soul, and life's purpose is to refine oneself to reflect the Eternal Light perfectly.

Structure: Clerics of the Flame are known as Luminaries, and are divided into roles of guidance, healing, and lawkeeping. Worship centres around grand sanctuaries called Lightwells built around sacred fires said to channel Sehendera's power.

Rituals: Followers conduct Kindling Ceremonies to reignite their spiritual focus and perform acts of penance called Shadowcasting by burning written confessions in the sacred fire.

Opposition: The Shade, a force representing chaos and corruption, is seen as the Flame’s antithesis. Creatures of darkness and those who reject the Flame are marked as enemies.

Patroness of the south

Doctrine: Khāliasīra weaves the threads of existence into the grand tapestry of life. Mortals are both threads and weavers themselves, tasked with maintaining harmony in the weave.

Structure: Temples, known as Manassih (Thread Halls), house massive looms where priests (called Nassaajin ) create literal tapestries to represent Khāliasīra’s will.

Rituals: The faithful offer symbolic threads during ceremonies, representing their life’s actions. Key events, such as births and deaths, are marked with a Threading Ritual where these moments are “woven” into the divine tapestry.

Opposition: The Snarl, a force that tangles Khāliasīra’s work, is embodied by those who disrupt unity, spread chaos, or embrace selfishness.

Patron of the Skies and Seas

Doctrine: Oenmar is both creator and sustainer, depicted as an endless ocean from which all life flows and to which all returns. Life’s journey is seen as a voyage on Oenmar’s tides.

Structure: Worship is overseen by Wavecallers and Tidebearers, who use water as a sacred medium. Temples are built as coastal sanctuaries or floating islands.

Rituals: The Cleansing Rites involve immersing oneself in water to purify the soul, while the Journey of Tides celebrates key life events with symbolic voyages.

Opposition: The Abyss, an endless void beneath Oenmar’s depths, threatens to swallow the faithful and is seen as the source of despair and entropy.

Patron of the beasts

Doctrine: Ātuah'Ongā, the First Beast, is the progenitor of all life, embodying the primal instincts, strength, and unity of the natural order. He is believed to have shaped the world through his own body, his fur becoming forests, his claws carving mountains, and his breath giving life to the winds. His essence flows through every creature, and all are bound by his eternal pact to live in balance with nature.

Structure: Worship is decentralized, led by Wildsingers—shamans, druids, and beast-tamers who interpret Ātuah'Ongā’s will through communion with animals and the wilderness. Sacred places are called Den-Temples, which are natural locations like caves, ancient groves, or mountaintops believed to hold Ātuah'Ongā’s spirit.

Rituals: Followers of Ātuah'Ongā honour him through rituals like the Hunt of Renewal, where they thank their prey, the Bonding Rite, forming soul pacts with beasts, the Moonlit Howl, celebrating unity under the full moon, and the Trials of Fang and Claw, proving strength and respect for nature in coming-of-age challenges.

Opposition: The Silent Maw, A corruption of Kaelivor’s essence, represented by rabid, mindless destruction or beasts and mortals consumed by blind rage and madness.
