Religion

Religions are a strong backbone to many of the varied cultures of Poddesta.

The Seven Divines of Aetheria
This is the prominent religion across the many nations of Poddesta. Followers of the Seven Divines of Aetheria believe that in order to gain entry to the Aether upon death, one must devote themselves to at least one of the Seven Divines: Beyond the seven primary figureheads of the religion, there are nearly hundreds of secondary Gods that reside within the gates of the Aether. While some choose to devote themselves to these minor Gods, the majority of the religion‘s followers know little of their existence.
 * Arduin, the God of War and Strength
 * Apanera, the God of the Sea
 * Hermora, the Goddess of Nature and Life
 * Meyara, the Goddess of Love
 * Mychorosa, the Goddess of Art and Music
 * Syssus, the God of Trickery and Deceit
 * Zepartha, the God of Death and the Underworld

The Riyats
The Riyats are followers of a modified extension of the Seven Divines of Aetheria. They believe that the Sun and the Moon are Gods themselves.
