Catican

Catican is a common type of folk religion that utilizes limited employment of herbs and natural remedies, but also very basic elements of folk magic, such as through the use of candles, charms and spells, cartomancy and other fortune telling techniques. It differs from the similar system of Salarian, the most common spiritual system throughout the realm, in that it also includes some elements of polytheism.
Salarian is the most common type of spiritual system, being practiced in varying forms throughout every region, but Catican is predominantly practiced in the southern regions, particularly the island of Linmark.
Catican uses a religious text called The Akona, which consists of three books:
*Book of Whispers - containing suggestions on proper living
*Book of Ghosts - containing everything on death and the afterlife
*Book of Tides - a codex of spells, potions, rituals, etc.
