ok, back on track. How do you feel about religon in fantasy? is there one major, or do different cultures have their own. Or, are there no traces of religon at all.
I have gone with the option of heving different religons for different cultures. It helps make them more complete and belivable. what you you think?
In an effort not to offend very strictly religious people who may read my work I have left out mentions of Gods etc. where they are not needed and blessings, oaths and curses are said in the name of one of the Sun's that light the world.
My people mainly beleive that the elves, which have now left the land, were gods, or at least super-beings, but they mainly beleive in the power of the elemnets, as with most primitive people, for example, respect is born of fear of volcanoes, strong winds...that is their religion, at least for the common people and those in the North.
