Religion

Religion in Somera is varied and profitable, almost as powerful as the idea of monarchy. Religion can be found in every walk of life, and even if a person does not worship, they often carry the philosophy of a god, goddess, or pantheon in their minds. While relgion has done much good for the world, lending itself to organizations and peaceful movements, it has also led to some of the bloodiest conflicts between the people of Somera. Whether or not these conflicts were justified, or eve approved by their respective gods has never been proven.

Deities
The religions of Somera can be be divided into three distinct regions: The Hearth, The Ruin, and The Eyes. Each of these pantheons have their own gods and goddesses, which in turn gave birth to dozens of other demi-gods, monsters, and heroes which overlap with competing religions. The Hearth is known to have six main deities. The Ruin is the largest, and most wide spread, with ten main deities. The Eyes is the smallest, least followed, and most sporadically spread, to the point where many following the other two see followers of The Eyes as cultists, who are a danger to civilized life. There are also several splinter groups within each of these religions, as well as other minor religions not accepted by the mainstream public, often regarded as philosophies as opposed to full fledged religions.

The religions are not essentially separated by racial bounds, but are more separated by geography. By law, all major cities must contain worship sites for at lesat one deity from The Heart and The Ruin. Some cities and towns have sanctioned areas for worship by The Eyes, but they are few and far between.
