The 4 Spirits of Fenoria
The The Fenorian Empire's state religion is of the 4 Spirits. Since the defeat of Ihrasil, the faith in characters or Gods as deities has decreased, because they can have their own agenda. The 4 Spirits have no agenda, they are not a person or God, they represent balance. It enables access to the magic of The Weave just the same, but without being dependent on someone.
Most people pray to every Spirit, but most have a favored one. Often this is because of the job they have or the environment they live in. A farmer would most likely pray to the Spirit of the Earth and maybe Soul. He wouldn't care that much about Wisdom and Struggle. Some people follow none of the Spirits, often because they don't think they exist or because they are just indifferent about it.
The Spirit of the Earth stands for mountains, forests, weather, natural disasters, the sun and the moon. Often this Spirit is called upon by farmers, who ask for a good harvest. Travelers ask for the Spirits for a safe journey through the untamable wilderness and some pray to the spirits at night, asking for the sun to rise in the morning. The Spirit's nature domain has been harmed by Ihrasil and the damage can still be seen in the forests in Fenoria. This has made the sprit turbulent and unpredictable.
The Spirit of the Soul stands for life and death, good and evil and the honor of the ancestors. This Spirit is often called upon when someone has a life-threatening illness to ask for a good life after death or when commemorating their ancestors. Also, when someone recognizes they have done something wrong, they often ask the Spirits for forgiveness.
The Spirit of Struggle stands for strength, fighting, war, but also trickery and deception, everything that can be used to defeat an opponent. Normally, this Spirit is asked to protect someone who is in a life-threatening situation or before going into battle. Some people however use the Spirit's powers to sow deceit and discord or to fight unrighteous battles.
The Spirit of Wisdom stands for the mind, knowledge, books, history, magic. These Spirits are more often called upon by merchants or nobles in order to make good decisions.
