The Faith of The Many
The religion held by most elves, the Faith of the Many believes that the gods are beings linked to ideas, acts and phenomenon - each deity is both the god of something and that thing itself. They believe that when they see a storm it is not just controlled by Talos, it is Talos. The gods are in your actions: when you write, Denier is there guiding your hand; when you haggle, Waukeen is there aiding your speech; when you fight, Tempus fights alongside and against you. The gods are everywhere, controlling the strings of the world.
As the Faith is centred around everyday actions and not worshipping the gods through prayer, it does not have any large, centralised places of worship such as churches or temples. Instead, you will find multiple small shrine houses dotted around settlements where followers of the Faith will go to ask for guidance or assistance from one of the many gods.
