In short Aaru worship the past. In more pragmatic terms they worship their ancestors who are the most direct conduit to great spiritual powers that are the gods. Aaru see Gods not as specific entities but rather as forces of the universe. These forces find embodiment as specific demigod ancestors that represent each force.

To be revised
 
Though others call them by differing names the Aaru Gods represent these concepts, followed by the Ancestor worshipped as their avatar:
 
 
 
'''BAIG''' (War/Death) The most recent and revered avatar of Baig was a fiery young Aaru called Kraed Reos Hammerstein I. Kraed rose quickly through the ranks of the Aaru combined forces eventually leading the final assault on the last Tallastian city where he died valiantly as he steered his kinetic carrier into the enemies vanguard, sealing the battles outcome.
 
 
 
'''Rerth''' (Valour/Protection) The first and current leader of the Aaru Combined Forces (or ACF) his careful decisions and tactics about when to war and when to consolidate have been central to Aaru domination of their region.
 
Semile (Healing/Life) Revered since the first days of the Aaru’s arrival here Semile resurrected countless survivors after planet fall later sacrificing himself in the creation of the first Soulifactory.
 
 
 
'''Neurod''' (Knowledge/Magic) A still living avatar Neurod created the Soulifactory ‘Umber’ is a prolific researcher and currently leads the Majestic Twelve governing the affairs of Aaru society.
 
 
 
'''Knive''' (Trickery/Luck/Chaos) Knive in the early days set up the Aaru Secret Psion Squads (or ASPS) and his ‘colourful’ exploits are the stuff of Aaru bedtime stories and his eventual demise a frightening warning about the horrific nature of Psions.
 
 
 
'''Freon''' (Nature/Animals) Freon preserved and adapted many of the Aaru agricultural rituals and practices to their new world flora and fauna, laying a strong foundation for Aaru growth.
 
 
 
'''Rinwal''' (Travel) Rinwal was responsible for the first survey and map of the new world, also detailing the capacities of it’s various inhabitants. His journals, though sadly outdated, are a fascinating read that serve still as a guide for wayward Aaru.
 
 
 
'''Blin''' (Law/Commerce) First leader of the Majestic Twelve, it was Blin’s administration that laid the foundation for the Aaru to attain their position of mercantile power within the world economy.
 
 
 
'''Fire:''' The last recognised avatar of fire was a troublesome pyromaniac Aaru called Trousel Erea Tichon II. He was responsible for a devastating elemental fuelled fire that consumed the poor quarter of Nubt and he was executed some time ago for his crimes.
 
 
 
'''Earth:''' A devastating earthquake was traced to a disillusioned mage experimenting in his subterranean chambers beneath Aeon. The name Jeorth is retold to warn others from such dabbling.
 
 
 
'''Air:''' Tornado activity was able to penetrate the wards of Nubt due to the assistance of a small cult led by one Neamen Reos Architoo II. Despite the constant pursuit of the ACF he is still at large.
 
 
 
'''Water:''' A bizarre Aaru wizard named Rontar Leart Cosmin III has been sending confusing omens of doom from within the great ocean for many decades now. The ACF has been reluctant to spend resources pursuing him as he seems to pose no actual threat.
 
All have sanctioned churches devoted to them with the exception of the 4 elements. Warped cults have developed in the dark corners of the Aaru culture that pay homage to these deities.
