The two primal dieties worshipped by the Heortlings
are Orlanth (for men) and Ernalda (for women). Both
of these dieties have a number of different aspects
that are worskipped as different subcults. The main
subcults are given below, but there are a number of
others that are worshipped throughout Dragon Pass. The
worship of Orlanth was officially banned during the
Lunar occupation and many Orlanthi officially worshipped
other compatible dieties in public, whilst perhaps still
honouring Orlanth in private. There are also a number
of minor dieties (not included here) that are worshipped
in the region including Asrelia (Harvest, Plenty), Babeestor
Gor (Avenging Goddess), Barntar (The Plowman), Brastalos
(Calm Winds), Donandor (Cosmic Music), Engizi the Skyriver
Titan (God of the River), Eurmal (the Trickster), Gustbran
Bonesmith (the Red Smith), Kero Fin (Mother of
Mountains), Maran Gor (The Earthshaker), Minlister (Ale
and Brewing), Nandan (The Housekeeper), Pelaskos (Sea
Fishing God), Redalda (Horse Goddess), Rigsdal (the
Night Watchman), Sorana Tor (Death and Sacrifice),
and Valind (Winter).
