    Iron Age and Early Medieval Era

    Southern Druidism refers to the various religious practices of the Lowlands peoples from the Iron Age until Pelorianisation during the Medieval Era. Religious practices represented an essential element of early Lowland culture. From both archeological remains and literary sources, it is possible to trace a number of common or closely related beliefs among the Lowlands peoples into the Middle Era, when the last areas in Daggerford were Pelorianized.

    Late Medieval Era

    Southern Primeism refers to the unique religious practices of the Lowlands peoples in the Middle Ages. Practices where thinly veiled modified versions of past religious practices. This has allowed the essential elements of the Lowland culture to remain true to itself and continue alongside nature.

    The Renaissance

    During the late renaissance the majority of religions were dropped throughout the Lowlands, resulting in the new Southern Progressism. Progressism refers to the progressive ideas of technology and the realization that magic (and thus by extension the gods) are by definition violation of natural laws, where science is the utilization of those natural laws. These ideas speak volumes to the naturalistic and holistic values of the Lowlands peoples.
