| − | '''The Old Faith (N):''' The name given to the collective faiths of the barbarian tribes that can now be found mostly in the Freedlands, the old faith is the veneration of the earth and the forces of nature as well as a collection of powerful spirits and sometimes fey creatures. Orignally the beliefs of the Aghenti tribes that used to wander all of northern Antanides, who in turn learned it from the elves, all druidic tradition stems from the Old Faith, but many have incorporated more modern deities or ideals into this ancient belief (and vice versa with many clerics of the more naturally inclined gods like Epka and Typhera adopting a more druidic style to their worship). In the Freedlands and on the fringes of Avandor the Old Faith holds strongest and many the tribes carry a totem of their region's protective spirit (or manatu) that they venerate above all others. These totems may be animals, such as the Grandfather Bear, the Great Wolf, or the Hunting Dog, others may be specific landmarks such as the Sacred Tree in Woodheart or (long ago) the volcano that would become Mt. Keitos. The manatu vary from tribe to tribe, some are protective parental figures that wander with their tribes to protect them. Others are distant and never leave their single spot unless entreated with sacrifice (which itself can vary between food and prayers, to human blood). The Old Faith has many different sects, but its oldest (some would actually argue that this is the original) is a group of priests that venerate not the spirits of the earth but rather wayward spirits of the sky who they say seeded all life on earth and then returned to the stars, deities with strange names like Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, and Yog-Sothoth. Domains are Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, Sun, Water, War, or Weather.
