1.1 KiB
In ancient times, belief in gods or other omnipotent beings was common and widespread. In Western Cantallar, however, such beliefs have mostly faded over generations. Remnants of older faiths still linger in certain communities, particularly in the wilder reaches where the Scourged roam freely.
Yet, by far the most enduring belief across the known world is that of The Order of the Arisen, a faith centered around the prophet Rael. Followers of the Arisen believe that upon death, they will ascend as perfected versions of themselves into a paradise beyond mortal understanding.
The Order is a prominent force across Cantallar, with grand temples established in most major cities. Known for their acts of charity, the Arisen’s followers are deeply involved in public life—rebuilding villages, tending to the sick, and offering shelter to those in need. They believe that defending the world from corruption is part of Rael’s divine purpose for them. As a result, the Order’s influence has grown over the years, and their presence is a familiar comfort in times of peril.
