Religions, both new and old, exist all across [[Aloria]] and give millions hope, pleasure, and happiness in their daily lives. Some are widely accepted by nations and [[Races]] like [[Unionism]], but others are not, or are often restricted to a single Race or people. There are also many cults and offshoots of the greatest or oldest Religions, further adding depth to the colorful landscape. Despite all of that, faith can be a great unifier in Aloria as much of the [[Regalian Empire]] can attest, but it can also lead to conflict, as many incidents in the history of the Regalian Empire can relay. For followers of these Religions, the power of these religions is both spiritual, and actual in some cases.
Aloria is a world full of many different people and societies; subsequently, many religions exist. Gods are tangible beings that walk among Mortals, and interact with them in this world, and so Religion feels a lot more impactful in the world. Religions present a set of guidelines and ideals to live by, while also creating conflict with those of other Religions. Your Character can be an atheist in this world, but Religions add a lot of flavor and connections with other Characters that are beneficial. If you are window-shopping for a new (first?) Character, and just want a quick refresher or easy-to-digest page, we recommend you read the [[Religion Abridged]] Page. You can come back here later for more information.

Your Character can be an atheist in this world, but Religions add a lot of flavor and connections with other Characters that are beneficial. If you are window-shopping for a new (first?)
