The Therin Religion

The primary religion on the Therin continent involves worshiping Twelve gods. There are various temples, rites and robes associated to each god, alongside the countless priest and initiates. There is also a Thirteenth god; the few that know and believe are involved in criminal activity, though many do not believe the deity exists. Chains’ described the Thirteenth as ‘a black-sheep younger brother of the Twelve… whose name is not allowed to be spoken or heard’.

The Vadran Religion

Little is known about the specifics surrounding the Vadran religion, though they do have temples much like the Therin religion.
