Distribution of Faith throughout Elmfax
Human: Humans cannot be specifically regarded as followers of one set religion. They tend to congregate based on the regions and Kingdoms - Tauber is a predominantly Celestial Pantheon but has cities with strong numbers of Sylvan worshippers, whereas Glavendauxy is mostly Sylvan with small numbers of Alnilists. Cavin and Alasantine have majorital Brine Pantheon worshipping with a small numbers of Alnilists and Celestial followers. Helis and Lathael have majorital Celestial Pantheon followings with significant Sylvan and Brine followings. Atamora is estranged from the many nations of Elmfax as it is in fact majoritally Alnilist.

Elven: The Elves are mostly Celestial Pantheon followers - but have small followings of the Brine and Sylvan Pantheons, and Alnilism.

Orc: The Orcs are an exceptionally wide split group religion-wise. There are those who follow their animistic ancestors to the south in the Harciac Pact Lands, and some Brine Pantheon followers who reside deep in the Abhorred Swamp. The more predominant religions amongst Orc societies are that of Alnilism, the Celestial Pantheon, and the Sylvan Pantheon.

Aldremin: Aldremin were once heavily Animistic, believing in the bestial spirits of the land - but as humans gradually came into closer contact with the Aldremin, many preachers saw the opportunity to convert them to their respective religions. It is because of this the Aldremin communities are often heavily sected between various religions. The Sylvan Pantheon holds the most sway within their peoples for it adheres to many of their ancient traditions. However the Celestial Pantheon and Alnil do have small followings within the Aldremin populace along with an occult group of Animistic followers who will defend their tribes to the death from preachers and missionaries.

Avian: Avians are the sole followers of Gaider’reja. Any who do not are considered heretics amongst their community and virulently shunned and absconded from Avian society.

Dwarf: Dwarves are the only and last devout followers of the Stone Pantheon. There is however a growing number of young Dwarves who shun the old ways - claiming they only brought their peoples to ruin, and such have begun to worship Humanistic religions like the Celestial Pantheon and Alnil.
