[QUOTE="Bugbear, post: 127623, member: 503"] [b]More Notes on Cairnheim[/b] Religion: After the Great War, Most of the Gods Abbandioned the world.

To most Cairnheimians, the Gods are not worshiped, but appeased. A farmer, for example, will give a sacrifice to the Boneless one, in hopes that she will turn her eye elsewhere. There are some however who do embrace the dark power offered by the Old Ones. There are some Good god also, Such as the defender of the weak, but sadly, their cults are small in comparison to those of the Old Ones. The People: Townies are typicaly farmers, Miners, or Bramin Ranchers. They try to live as best they can and in the old ways. Primitive tribes are found on the outskirts of "civilized lands". they vary greatly from tribe to tribe. Some tribes are more civilized and enlightened than the townies. Others are Canibals.
