Religions

Gods are associated with emotions, feelings, and moods; they delight when people feel these emotions. Although gods are universal they tend to attract disciples of a particular race, nation, of disposition. The gods themselves aren't particular about race or nation but the races and nations are particular about their gods. Each nation usually gives patronage to one of the six families of god, the "Cosmos". These cosmos are, in turn, aligned against each other.

By their nature the cosmos are ethereal and shapeless but they have taken, or been given, physical representation. These physical metaphors vary as greatly as the gods themselves; some are human or humanoid, some are animal, some are elemental, and most are a combination of each.
