The Religions

in The Supernatural World

Gimme that old time religion, It's good enough for me.

Gimme that old time religion.

Selestya is polytheistic, which means no one worships just one god. Churches, temples and cathedrals belong to a religion, not a god; so there will be many gods worshipped in any one. Of course there are shrines, monastic orders, and holy sites dedicated to specific gods, but even a devout pilgrim or member of a military order is not going to worship that god exclusively. There are five organized religions in Selestya, revolving around the Vis, the four Forces or elder gods. The religions are not necessarily organized in the same way from region to region (except the Vitalists) but the adherents of one religion will be able to find compatriots in most places. All priests in Selestya have the ability to draw upon the power of the particular Force that they follow, to some extent. As in the real world, ability does not necessarily determine rank.
