Rheann is a world of many gods and heroes, each with their own stories. These beings leave their mark on history through their worshipers, who pray, fast, and celebrate and war with one another due to their beliefs. For better or for worse, these unknowable forces are an influential part of culture and day-to-day life for the mortal races.

Non-Theism in Rheann
Despite the power and influence of the gods listed in these pages, there are many on the face of Rheann who choose not to involve themselves in any kind of worship. It isn’t that these people necessarily deny the existence of gods, but that they do not feel beholden to them. Non-theists tend to value personal liberty, free thinking, and self-actualization above all else. To them, the good things in life shouldn’t necessarily be attributed to fate or the will of unknowable forces, and the bad things cannot be so easily dismissed as the result of something’s anger. To them, things just happen, and they feel no compulsion to pray or kowtow in response.

Non-superstitious people like these are common in Havensport, where it is said that coin is more powerful than any god could hope to be. The orgren in general also have a tendency away from religious worship, as they have no deity. Rather, they hold a deep veneration for the self-sustaining cycle of nature. Legion celestials have a strong non-theistic streak, as they often feel jaded toward gods who promise tranquility or inner-peace. To them, such tranquility can only be attained through self-discipline.

Many cultures across Rheann have difficulty coping with those who are not religious. The ascended, Tanese munen, adrassi, and dornen are particularly harsh toward those who shun tradition by cutting religion from their lives. Non-theists may find themselves the subjects of scrutiny or outright ostracization in communities which are held together by prayer and piety. Some may pretend to follow a deity to avoid conflict in their home town, but those who can leave will often do so; seeking out a place where they can be free to exert their own will upon the world.
