While many Karthians are devout followers of one religion or another, the society of the Republic is secular (slightly more secular than modern America).
Officially Sanctioned Religions (in order of popularity)
The Pantheon
The traditional Pantheon of the Cargosians includes many gods.
The Church of the Omphalos
Followers of this religion revere the world soul, the mystical font of all energy in Rhiada.
Church of the Maker
This is the traditional religion of the dweirish people. In Karthis, this religion is popular among many races.
In the Karthian Church, the Great Maker is also a master wizard and alchemist.
Druidic Lodge
The Druids of Karthis venerate the Omphalos, the Primal Forces of Nature and the Moon Selene. In town, many are urban druids.
The Church of Light
This is the same church that is dominant in Elocia and the Southlands. The Primate of Karthis runs this church.
The Church of Yig
The followers of Yig claim that he is the protector of the Omphalos, Patron of Magic, Protector of the People and Ancient Guardian of the Neimocrands.
The Church of the Eightfold Path
Originally imported from Tamnara beyond the gates, this church teaches that the soul strives for enlightenment through a succession of incarnations. Once a state of enlightenment is reached, the soul becomes one with the divine energy of the cosmos.
