No religion holds sway over a majority of the total population. In fact, most only account for a small group. These religions constantly bicker and fight between themselves, with each one taking its turn being the most popular, as its leaders gain more power, or it gets more charismatic leaders, or any of a hundred other reasons.
The most common religions are as follows, and a brief description.
Eryian-an animistic group locating itself mainly in swamps and around seas. Followers are called Eryies
Theag- another animistic group, but located on dry ground more than near water. Followers are called Theagians. Eryies and Thegians have a peaceful relationship, though occasionally small fights occur over a shrine or other trivial item.
Kyar-The only religion to believe in one sole divine being. Their god, Kyar, demands the eradication of all other religions, but also condemns those who use violence to death. Followers are called Kyarians, or Sole-ists.
Deigan- a polytheistic group of sub-religions, one for each of its gods. Followers are named after their gods.
The followers of this religion tend to be more violent than others, fighting each other more than they do other religions, oddly.
Fiam-A church believing their is no higher being, but rather an essence existing outside magic, outside our reality. They believe that Order and Chaos must be carefully balanced, less everything cease to exist. Followers are called Formers, Neutrals, or Lost. They have no problems with the other religions, but many other religions have problems with them.
