Religion on Gero falls into three categories: Cults,
Totems and Dieties.
Cults
Cults have all the trappings of religion, but no true
divine power. At most, cults may be in the service of a
fiend or other extraplanar being. More often, they worship
concepts, anthromorphized animals, magical beasts, or even
powerful individuals. The object of worship is commonly
called the cult's focus. They have no Priests, but instead
are composed entirely of a single type of Templar. These
Templar classes have abilities that are heavily defined by
the focus, and will only limited or nonexistent access to
priestly magic.
Totems
Totems are beings tied to the representation of a place or
species. They have Priests, but no Templars (as a general
rule, the entire race or tribe is considered to serve as
the Templars).
Dieties
Certain entities represent facets of reality so universal
that anyone may grasp them. These beings, labeled Dieties
by the sages, are served by both priests and templars.
