	Catfolk make up the largest demographic within Mostagedda by quite a large margin. Humans, gnomes, ifrit, tieflings, and oreads account for much of the rest of the population.

Mostageddan cities are quite small, with the largest, Mirgissa, home to around eight thousand inhabitants.		Catfolk make up the largest demographic within Mostagedda by quite a large margin.

	The catfolk of Mostagedda do not, on the whole, give particular deference to major deities. Gods are sometimes prayed to pragmatically, if one believes doing so will provide an immediate advantage, but otherwise are seen as distant entities that are not very relevant to mortal life. Most Mostageddans practice a form of [[animism]] instead, giving deference to the spirits of ancestors, animals, plants, and natural phenomena. Small, austere shrines dot the arid landscape of Mostagedda, especially around the Floodstacks. Usually little more than small rocks stacked in aesthetically pleasing patterns, most of these shrines are personal to a particular individual, and dutifully maintained by them alone. Offerings are frequently left at these shrines in hopes that spirits will look favorably upon the individual.
