The Cults of Werlyth

The power of belief is very strong and with The Cataclysm (and the The Return for other races), cults that were previously quite powerless have managed to manifest their own minor deities which grant their most fervent followers with some small measure of power.

Humans have dozens of pagan minor gods covering most minor aspects, most are not kept track of and fall in and out of use regularly. Prior to the Cataclysm, these cults were actively hunted down and persecuted under Ordian law but with the loss of the church's absolute grip on religiosity in the 75 years since the catastrophe, many major and minor religions have established churches in most major towns and capitals, they've also managed to usurp some cults that worshipped similar concepts. Some major cults that have managed to gain some prominence (and not just amongst humans) are listed below
