Miscere = "mix" in Latin... name for Hybrids?

Religion

Pyro

Monotheism - There are few monotheistic cultures in Pyro. Most monotheistic religions are not organized. There is no circulated text supporting one God.

Polytheism - The only type of organized religion in Pyro. Central Pyro--under tighter control--had much less religion, but outward cities have more religious variety. Polytheism is very mysterious here and resembles paganism.

Atheism - There is a direct connection between the king's grip on Pyro and atheism. Atheism abounds among the communities without connection and unity.

Ephos

Monotheism - An emerging idea. Still no biblical text to support a singular deity.

Polytheism - Ideals akin to Hinduism abound. Polytheism here has less of a variety of deities and often focuses on a group of five main gods.

Atheism - Much less popular due to higher circulation of ideas and less isolation between communities.

Wassaer

Monotheism - The first and only country with a base for monotheism. Not very widespread, but there is a commonly accepted text for believers.

Polytheism - Smattered across Wassaer, most similar to variations of Paganism (see Pyro).

Atheism - Atheistic philosophies aren't necessarily popular, but it's doubtful that many believe what they profess to.

Tarnen

Monotheism - Very little monotheistic influence, nearly unheard of. However, many factions choose one polytheistic deity to identify with.

Polytheism - Majoritily paganistic (see above).

Atheism - Surprisingly low rates of atheistic beliefs.

Tetra

There's a healthy mix of everything in here! (But of course, polytheism is most popular.)

Overall

The most common religious beliefs consist of polytheism. The most widespread religions resemble paganism and Hinduism. Monotheism is much less popular because of the lack of organization. Atheism is most common among the extremes of the poor and the rich.


Culture

Pyro

Heavily inspired by native Americans. Much of Pyro is a desert, so although it has the illusion of being large and powerful, it is on the lesser spectrum when it comes to
