Talrycg

Talrycg is a religion in Talor, Satï and some parts of Ulgard and Kafetra. It is a form of spirit worship whose believers hold that every object, animate or otherwise, has a soul and should be treated as such.
Originally, Talrycg was the theory that every stone, every bush and stream, had its own resident spirit. These spirits could influence what was done to the objects they inhabited, so for example, if a precarious hillside collapsed into a river, the earth spirit wanted to be closer to the river spirit.
Over time, this theory changed as individual objects came to hold power. The sword Talorian Fang, currently hanging in the throne room in Talor, was forged when Cyng Thursteinn the Anvil took a particular liking to a wooden training sword. With his bare hands, he 'forged a pact with the sword's spirit' and it transformed into an ornate bronze-hilted steel blade. Thanks to this event, the spirit in the sword is alleged to owe the Cyng of Talor a favour for enhancing its worldly status; it is said that in a time of danger, Talorian Fang will leap off its bearings of its own accord and slay the enemy to repay its debt. Talorian Fang is, unofficially, the patron deity of the Talorian Cyngs.
Nowadays, many spirits are revered in this way. Though the religion's core beliefs have not changed, certain spirits are perceived to have more power than others, leading to makeshift deities springing up all over Talrycg territory.
