Religions & Mythology (Cantalthis Supplement)

Religion

In the world of Cantalthis, religion works differently. All religions believe in the same creation myth and believe that all deities are true. However, different religions focus on different things and believe that they are divine. Each religion springs from one of the "Arotoni" deities, the ten that have sprung from the creation of everything. It is not uncommon for a believer of one religion to pray to a deity in another for a favor. For example, a believer in Essheki may pray to Austere for a specific purpose. Many people have no organized belief and simply believe in a loose pantheon of deities.
