## Gods and Religions

After the Dark Days, where Jagdas tried to thwart the players by unpinning the sun and moon, various entities entered the world through the void pit in Ishigami. These entities eventually pinned the sun and moon back in place and allowed the players to join the world again. Should these entities stop being worshipped, the world will again free fall through the void. The religions which the players created on the entities discovered for their salvation are as follows:
