Levaajan

{ReligiousDescription|religion=levaajan|description=A disorganized faith held by the Rünsukhi of the desert, arising after the Day of Ashen Skies hit Haless. The religion is mostly built upon the idea of praying to the Supreme Spirit shared with the Besholgi people up north, but the difference is instead of hunting rituals like the Besholgi, the Rünsukhi use prayer to worship the Supreme Spirit and ask for salvation. Due to the proximity with face stealing spirits, the Rünsukhi build a shelter for safety and pray to the Supreme Spirit, due to their belief that if a face stealing spirit kills a person, that soul can't be returned to the creator. The Rünsukhi ultimately hope that one day their cities under the desert will arise again, which is what keep them tied to the land, and await for their eventual return to a civilization.}

Saanorgegh

{ReligiousDescription|religion=saanorgegh|description=The Shuvüüsh primarily worship the Saanorgegh, the three brothers that fended off the face stealing spirits during the migration of their ancestors and went on to found the three families of the Shuvüüshudi. To protect themselves from malevolent spirits most wear intricately carved masks, sometimes carved by themselves but often passed down through families. Their shamans, who wear black featureless masks guide the people by communicating with gods and spirits. The idea that anyone worthy enough of ascension can join the three brothers upon death makes their birdriders fight with fervor and loot with impunity.}

Umun Omi

{ReligiousDescription|religion=umun_omi|description=The faith (translated to One Soul in Common) of the Besholgi people in Moduk based around the belief of one Supreme Spirit, who long ago split his soul to create the world including humans, animals, and spirits to inhabit the world. When a human dies, it is believed their soul returns to the Supreme Spirit while their body becomes a husk, and eventually every soul on Halann will return to their creator. The faith has an emphasis on hunting, and they believe it is a ritual in order to help revive the Supreme Spirt with the kill an animal. There is a tiny minority of Besholgi who become mercenaries in the south, with the theory that they help revive the Supreme Spirit by killing others in the battlefield, although they are for the most part exiled from their tribe for their radicalism.}

Un Khudai

{ReligiousDescription|religion=un_khudai|description=Un Khudai can be roughly translated into the common tongue as “One Harmony.” At its core is a set of culturally entrenched ecological traditions focused on maintaining the cycle of the world through the framing of the fivefold compass. Earth reveals metal, which begets water, which feeds the forests, which in turn fuels the fire, which seeds the earth once more. The former is but a facet of the grander fivefold compass, which, in its totality, defines the movements, creation, and destruction of those elements. Un Khudai stresses that this cycle must be maintained, for should the Khudi grow beyond their means and break the Harmony of the Land, the spirits will bury their civilization, and return them to epochs long past.}
