[QUOTE="Shades of Green, post: 4944531, member: 3297"] Even during the Age of Blossom, the Halflings and Dwarves (as well as some Human cultures) worshiped their ancestors. Instead of Clerics they had Priests ([url=http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=38568]Shamans[/url] in BFRPG game terms), and instead of temples or churches they had shrines. Most Humans and Elves worshiped the Mother Goddess as an agricultural deity back then. Now, in the Frozen Age, almost all cultures have returned to shamanism, animism and ancestor worship, and only a few Druids and humanoids are still capable of following the hurt, wild Mother Goddess; a few mortals follow the cold, inhuman Clockwork God. Dwarven mines and Halfling villages always had shrines for their ancestors; now most Human and Elven settlements have their own shrines to honor the local benign spirits and drive away malicious spirits.
