Religions
There are two major religions on Ontearis: The Old Ways and Soulism. The Old Ways are followed by the Fey (non-humans) and some Humans. Soulism is only followed by the Humans. Arguements between the two sparked the earthly portion of the Great Wars.

Reguardless of which side you fall on, the Gods are powerful beings, capable of granting boons to those who follow them. By devoting yourself to a particualr patron God or Goddess, you gain special powers or abilities, which often grown stronger over time. However, if you abandon your God or fall out of their favor, they will take their boon back. (Any abilities you have gained from them are halved, with a minimum score of 1. If you devote yourself to another God or realign yourself with your old God, you start back over at the lowest abilites for that God, while keeping your remaining stats from the previous one.)

The Old Way
The Fey have many Gods and people seldom worship only one, though they may have a patron God. It is deemed appropriate by the followers of the Old Ways to render worship to the God who rules the domain of the task you are about to perform.

Formed Gods (Great Gods):
Formed Gods are Gods in the Fey Pantheon who were created out of the cosmos and are incredibly powerful. They are the most powerful of the Gods. Formed Gods tend to have dominion over large abstract realms; things which are hard to define and somewhat intangible such as balance, knowledge, chaos, etc. Their realms tend to encompass many things.

Born Gods:
Born Gods are any Gods who were born from the union of two Formed Gods or one Formed God and One Born God. They are slightly less powerful than the Formed Gods and their domains tend to be more specific and concrete, usually a concentration of an attribute from one or both of their parent’s domains.

Lesser Gods:
Lesser Gods are Gods who were born of two Born Gods or of a Formed God and a Lesser God. They are less powerful than Born Gods and their domains are often very specific, such as dancing.

Demi-Gods:
Beings who were granted immortality and power by the Gods such as Mehrohg, the Dragon God. Gods born of two Lesser Gods or a Born God and a Lesser God are also considered Demi-Gods.

Heroes:
Heroes are mortal beings who were born from a union of a God and a mortal being. They often possess powerful magic or supernatural abilities which relate to their immortal parent’s domain. They often live unnaturally long lives, if they do not die of unnatural causes first.

Infinitism
The Infinites beleive that all the Gods and Goddesses of all the different religions are simply different aspects of one all powerful God.

The 1000 Faced God

Singularism
The Unshared, as the followers of Singularism are called,  believe that there is only one God, whose name and nature is unknowable as his essence and being permeate and create the entire universe, and that all other Gods are lesser beings that are not true Gods but messengers and servants of The One.

The One

Atheism
Atheism is the absence of belief in any God. These individuals beleive that for good or for ill, all decisions and occurances are either mortal made or chance. They value things that they can perceive through their physical senses and tend to put their trust in knowledge, science, and nonmagical persuits. However, these souls are exceedingly rare on Ontearis.
