Bailmao

The Bailmao is the official state religion of Mailnaira. It venerates a variety of gods and nature spirits, but much emphasis is also placed on ancestor worship. According to the doctrine, there is little difference between the three, other than power and domain. It is also entirely possible for nature spirits and ancestral spirits to be one and the same, for example a noteworthy ancestor might eventually become the spirit associated with a stream. Gods then are more simply more powerful spirits which are believed to govern lesser ones.
