Religions Of Covidian Isles

The different races have largely hung out in their own regions with trading but a recognition of sovereign territory. Then the humans started expanding a few decades ago and never stopped. This was enabled by their advanced magic far beyond anything the other groups had, and their larger numbers than the other groups. They breed like rabbits them humans. Plus a lack of respect for the order of things, because they’re willing to destroy resources with no thoughts to sustainability they can expand beyond what the other groups have.

Due to the diversity of races and cultures the religions of the region are equally diverse, whilst there may be gods not listed here worshiped by inhabitants of the Covidian Isles this aims to give a review of those most important to understanding what the hells going on.

The pantheon of gods worshiped across the region is long and complex, with the godly politics happening on the higher plane influencing what happens on the ground and vice versa.

Whilst there are some higher rates of worship of certain gods by certain groups, there is still overlap, such as Mielikki being worshiped by Elves and Halflings alike.
