The Thousand Small Gods

The common folk pay homage to numerous minor gods and spirits, known as the Thousand Small Gods, and as such their religion is almost animistic. Where as gnomes believe in little gods of forests and lakes, halflings look to the little gods of fields and fireplaces, stoves and kilns. Prayers to the Thousand Small Gods are simple, for instance just a silent “thank you” to the spirits of field and oven for a well-baked loaf of bread, a cup of cream left on the threshold for the gods of the valley for protecting a flock. The Thousand Small Gods are intertwined with all aspects of daily life for the common folk.

Divine Domains

The Thousand Small Gods overseer almost every aspect of life in some small way. They may not control the courses of the universe, but have been known to nudge things along on the right path.
