Religions

Southern Pantheon
This is the most widely worshipped religion in Marin. It is a polytheistic religion composed of many hundreds of gods, which vary based both on the individual worshipper and on the predominant cultural values of the place in which the worshipper lives. Though there are many minor deities, there are only five major deities, all of which stem from the original creator god, Saris.
Frozen Gods
The great majority of Withic people worship nameless, faceless deities known as the Frozen Gods. Believed by their worshippers to control all events, the Frozen Gods appear foreign and alien to outsiders. It is said the vagrohls of the Order of the Frozen Gods can hear the gods' whispers and commands in the winds and snowfalls.
Tide Bearer's Creed
This is the predominant religion of the Southern Isles, predicated upon the Tide Bearer, who was a real person that united the Isles over 300 years ago and freed the Islanders from their enslavement.
Hog God Faith
This faith is most commonly practiced around the bog lands of Taemar. That said, members of the faith are known to travel and can be found in most kingdoms if someone was looking. The Southern Pantheon has recently integrated the Hog God faith as one of its many sects. 
While swine are revered, eating them is not discouraged. They are viewed as the hog god’s flesh given for the nourishment of his followers. Swine are viewed as being intelligent. Stories are known of pigs saving their owners. There is a guardian angel aspect of the hog god faith. Burial practices involve feeding a corpse to pigs for giving back flesh as thanks for providing pigs as food. Whatever remains after is buried or submerged in a bog depending on location circumstances.
Xolism
Araedia worships a phoenix in conjunction with The Southern Pantheon. This practice is not widely recognized as legitimate in other kingdoms.
