Church of the Mother
The officially recognized religion of Arbhor, the Church of the Mother, is devoted to the worship of a singular goddess known as the Mother. This goddess is believed to be the original creator of “divine life”. The church seeks to ensure that all of the Mother’s creations are protected and treated with reverence.
Notably, the Church does not believe that Elves are creations of the Mother, but rather demons meant to imitate her creations. This has resulted in centuries of Elven persecution and demonization in Arbhor, resulting in a mass exodus of Wood Elves from the region.
This religion is one of few in the realm which employs traveling clerics, who roam from kingdom to kingdom seeking to bring new converts to the religion. They often will provide shelter, aid, and advice to those who need it, even if those in need do not seek to convert.
