Religion in the Stormlands is quite varied, with large pantheons, smaller deific faiths, and a significant substrate of animistic beliefs and present throughout the continent.
Worship of natural and ancestral spirits forms the most common set of beliefs of the Stormlands, yet these take many distinct forms between different peoples. Many of these, collectively referred to as stone-faiths, center around the worship of earth or ancestral spirits that reside or are housed in stone. The creation and veneration of ancestor monoliths is likely the largest and most widespread of these, but other stone-faiths include the fortress cults and the worship of qenga visitants. Similarly, the Maukran okk venerate the earth-fires near their palace complexes.
Especially widespread in the central Stormlands, in the Oasis and Storm-Path, are dualistic faiths. Some of these are deific in nature, such as the veneration of Qan and A'Qala, while other movements like the Dustwalkers are more philosophical.
The Bohaar pantheon is by far the largest pantheonic faith in the Stormlands, though somewhat isolated to the northern nation. To the south in the Oasis, the dwarves of Haran Gurr have a pantheon of their own.
