===Religion and Deities=== Worship of the gods has been a less than common occurrence, with only simple holidays to celebrate the greater deities. These deities have been described in different regions as being related to one another, with '''Katasis''', goddess of the sun, and '''Vareus''', god of moonlight creating them. Here is an excerpt from the lore: <blockquote> ''"Katasis and Vareus fought for ownership of the skies for ten centuries; the sparks of their blades creating the stars in the dark sky. After the passing of the ten-day, they defeated one another, with the pieces of their spirits forming the sun and moon, greater and lesser deities, and the soul of the sentient beings."'' </blockquote> {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
