Religions both new and years old exist in Aloria. Unionism in Regalia is the youngest, yet has the third greatest amount of followers, which is more even than the Old Gods that originated from times early in the Elven Empire. A character's religion can alter others' perception of them greatly: in Regalia, it's  illegal to publicly declare yourself a religion other than Unionism.
Religions on Massivecraft exist to create depth and complexity to Roleplay that usually are not evident in Character Creation. Each Religion imposes a concept, or a list of vices and virtue, that create storied principles both within a Character, and frame how they interact with the wider world inspired by their Gods and in order to do right by them. Each Character can worship a single Religion, though Ailor are able to worship two Religions.

Religions on Massivecraft exist to create depth and complexity to Roleplay that usually are not evident in Character Creation. Each Religion imposes a concept, or a list of vices and virtue, that create storied principles both within a Character, and frame how they interact with the wider world inspired by their Gods and in order to do right by them. Each Character can worship a single Religion, though Ailor are able to worship two Religions. There is also a more advanced Religious concept called Syncretism, read more on this in the Expanded Religion Pages further below. In order to navigate to the Religion pages, highlight the text overlay on the images below, which will fold out their description. Then click the hyperlinked name of the Religion at the start of the description to be linked to their respective pages.
