Dai'Nadeilhil
{ReligiousDescription|religion=dai_nadeilhil|description=Dai'Nadeilhil, or "Story of Four Worlds" is the religion of the Haraf'ne people: the Ruinborn natives of the eponymous land in North Aelantir. The Dai'Nadeilhil is an oral tradition telling primarily of the Haraf'ne peoples' travels and experiences through the four worlds of Dchei'ilhil, Kosu'ilhil, Yaih'ilhil, and Keiin'ilhil: Dark World, Water World, Air World, and Fire World, respectively.\n\nTselayos, God of Water, is worshiped as the creator of the Haraf'ne after bringing them out of Dchei'ilhil to Kosu'ilhil and blessing them with souls and knowledge of agriculture to distinguish themselves from the dreaded Silent Watchers. Iishkeli, Goddess of Air, is praised for providing bounteous space for the Haraf'ne of old to rule Yaih'ilhil from their Six Flying Mountains, until eventually, the envious Di'iikunail, God of Fire, who could only create through destruction, brought low the Flying Mountains and razed all the worlds from the immense force of their downfall.\n\nIt is from this destruction that Di'iikunail forged a singular world to replace all others: Keiin'ilhil, a scorching, searing land of death. However, the Good Gods of Water and Air saw fit to create and give life to Ek'elas, God of Land, to serve as the guardian of the Haraf'ne in this new world. Ek'elas used great magics to shield and sustain the Haraf'ne until he withered and became the sands of the great Haraf Desert, ensuring the Haraf'ne would be able to tame their new home through his sacrifice.}

Eotomolaque
{ReligiousDescription|religion=eotomolaque|description=Epednar religion is centered around the worship of the Expanse’s Thunderbirds, which they believe were once a mythical people from whom the Epednar descend. Their creation myth talks about how these people, the Eotomolaque, were created alongside three other elven races by four cruel and oppressive gods. Then, it explains how three of these people, including the Eotomolaque, revolted against and killed their respective gods, absorbing their powers and becoming legendary beasts, who to this day guard their descendants. They believe the Eotomolaque became the Epednar, their totem animal being the Thunderbird. The Eotepn in turn became the Rzentur, their totem animal being the Dragon, and the Eotyr became the Chiunife and Haraf’ne, their totem animal being the Poskawa Whale. Meanwhile, it is said the people who stayed under the yolk and continued to worship their god of water became the Ynnics, who therefore don’t have a totem animal. A common Epednar practice is what they call the Thunder Dance, which consists of multiple physical and mental trials, as they sacrifice themselves for the community, in imitation of the Eotomolaque of old.}

Great Tceusluhd
{ReligiousDescription|religion=great_tceusluhd|description=Great Tceusluhd, meaning Great Hunt in Chiunife, is the shamanistic religion of the Chiunife Ruinborn of the Ekyunimoy Range. At the center of the religion is their belief in Eslu, a harsh creator-god who designed the cycle of souls through the physical World Above and the spiritual World Below, and the Coyote, a treacherous trickster spirit elevated and granted thought to by Eslu, before destroying the fabric of reality by trying to escape its laws. Eslu is now trapped in the unholy Void Between, hunting down and absorbing the souls that fall into his realm, and it is said they will rise once again when they have recovered the strength of all souls stained by the Coyote.\n\nA major aspect of Great Tceusluhd comes from the myriad ways Eslu and the Coyote are seen by different tribes. In 1444, the most popular opinion is that Eslu was a necessarily oppressive god, demonizing the Coyote for tearing reality apart. These tribes take great honor in becoming part of Eslu in death and consider hunting and animal sacrifices sacred activities which strengthen Eslu. However, some Chiunife worship the Coyote and strange shaman-born coyote-elves called Decuvie, taking a position similar to the Epednar in saying that Eslu was a cruel god deserving to be cast down. These cults dabble frequently in necromancy in order to steal souls from Eslu and rise to prominence when their people are threatened by outside threats.}

Ja'akaiin
{ReligiousDescription|religion=jaakaiin|description=Ja’akaiin, meaning the Water Song in the Kooras tongue is the faith of the Kooras Ruinborn Elves. While some beliefs of the Kooras differ from one tribe to another, the main tenets of Ja’akaiin consist of animistic notions, belief in the Water World and the Dark World—opposed Worlds that compose the universe and in which either only Good or Evil can be found—and worship of water and Damestear. Other important beliefs include their unique Afterlife, in which the deads’ spirits integrate the manifestation of water the most in line with the person in life, and a shared cosmogony.\n\nIn Kooras myths, the All-World was created by the four great gods : Kseldos, god of the Water World, Dikaal, god of the Fire World, Etkal, god of the Stone World and Chkalii, goddess of the Air World. These Worlds were Good Worlds, and as such only Good could be found in them. The myths then talk about Dikaal’s treachery, where Dikaal forcibly created the Silent Watchers and corrupted his world into the Dark World. The other gods killed Dikaal in retribution, only for the Dark World to twist their hearts and a battle to break out between them. Finally, it is said that Kseldos, upon slaying his fellow gods in battle, saw the Dark World engulfing the All-World and in great sorrow decided to create the manifestations of water so the Water World could remain as a source of Good even after his inevitable death.}
