Religion (Ardellis)
Religion in Ardellis
In the Kingdom of Ardellis, no singular faith is universally acknowledged as the "correct" belief system. Instead, the region is characterized by a patchwork of cultural influences that have evolved over time, resulting in a diverse and often indifferent attitude towards religion. Many citizens express scepticism towards the existence of gods or spirits, with common responses ranging from outright disbelief to casual indifference.
If one were to approach the average citizen of Ardellis and ask, "are there Gods?" they might answer with "There is no such thing" or perhaps an indifferent shrug. This attitude is particularly common in urban areas and established towns, where the bustle of life often prioritizes practical concerns over spiritual ones with little time for deep philosophical debates about religion. However, places such as Athenaeums and scholars or sages usually welcome such discussions.
In contrast, in rural areas, the slower pace of life and strong ties to tradition can lead to a greater openness toward the formation of belief systems.
