"'We didn't really celebrate the Festival of Lights in Dragia, that's more of a Camdyn thing...' - Karen"

Overview
Seniorem Deos, or “the Elder Gods,” is a popular religion in the Camdyn area and the Southlands. Members of this religion believe in a pantheon of gods and goddesses. While it is not uncommon to worship all gods equally, many people choose one or two patron gods. Many gods have festivals dedicated to them, though many of these have fallen by the wayside in modern times.

Worship
Typically, homes will have a shrine or two in a side room or small courtyard. There, offerings will be left for whichever god the shrine is dedicated to.

There are several songs meant to invoke the various gods. If something more personal is needed, an individual may offer a prayer to their patron in their own home or go to a public shrine if their patron doesn't cover what they need help with.

Festivals are a more general form of worship and even those who do not follow the Seniorem Deos have been known to enjoy the festivals.

Festivals

Overview
The Path of Spirits is based off the lost Dragian religion. While this religion does not believe in gods, it does have a firm belief in the afterlife. Festival days are to be spent remembering loved ones who have passed into the next world. Angry spirits will occasionally haunt the living world until they can be put to rest.
