Religions both new and old exist in Aloria. Unionism is the youngest, yet has the third greatest amount of followers in Regalia, which is even more 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 an adherent of a religion other than Unionism.
