Religion in the Free States
It is said that there is a deity for every person within the Free States; while this is clearly false there is some merit to it. By far and away the Free States pay reverence to the largest number of deities. This is because the Free States lack any kind of hegemony, be it political, cultural, or religious. For this same reason there is a distinct lack of centralised religions as they come into conflict with political establishments. Amongst the many deities worshiped within Free States the Morndinsamman, Seldarineand Draconic pantheon also receive worship.
