Asmure is the dominant faith in Astorea. Asmure is largely used alongside holywords praised by Paladins and Clerics. They have formed a guild in worship of Asmure and his light, known as the Holy Order, and often travel the world of Astorea to spread word and teach his faith. Other gods worshipped (primarily by Humans, Elves, and Half-elves are below:
- Dhara: goddess of nature and life; primarily worshipped by druids.
- Hasmure: god of death-the opposite of Asmure; primarily worshipped by necromancers
- Nymeria: goddess of war, battle, and fire
- Florance: goddess of beauty, love, grace
- Leyara: goddess of truth and wisdom
- Enris: god of order
There are temples for each pantheon located in various cities, as they all are open to worship. Each religion coexists freely.
Moradin is what the Dwarves worship. Moradin represents everything the Dwarves hold dear: forge, invention, good nature, and intellegence. The picture most used to represent Moradin is a stout Dwarf with a large hammer, and their battle cries ring out as "by Moradin's hammer!"
Blood and Honor the Orcs, though it is hard to believe by some, hold more of a code of honor than actual deity worship. Though it isn't totally unlikely for some Orcs to take to worshipping a certain god, most Orcs cherish blood and honor, holding sacrifice and hard work in closer esteem than practicing devotion to any particular deity.
