Other Faiths

If you can think of one you want to discuss, throw it up here and we'll see if it merits a seperate thread. I sure I've hit the major ones but in our universe we're going to have Norse, Aztec and the Irish clusterfuck to deal with as well.

Neroke mentioned Elven and Dwarf faiths, but I'd be inclined to think this works like the ancestor worship inherent in shintoism.

Paganism is likely to take great number of forms, from that of the Aztecs to the few scant whispers in Irish hearts.

Would the elves have the nature worship from Shinto as well? Or more accurately, worshipping the spirits which live in natural things?

I would be inclined to think that Elves would be very faith oriented. Most sea going individuals are fairly superstitious at the best of times. Also, given that the sea itself is likely to be somewhat more lively than we might usually assume, what with the existence of sea monsters and such, I would see them as having very strong faith!

That would definitely help alright. Ah, they could have something along the lines of Susano, the Japanese god of storms and seas. As likely to strike you with lightning and tidal waves than as help you - more likely to, in fact!

Sounds like as much part of the elves attitude as it does their religion!
