The Collective

  The Collective is a religion practiced in Allethra by dwarven followers. Practitioners believe that when a dwarf dies, their spirit ascends to join a group intelligence, made up of a clan's deceased ancestors. The Collective can communicate and transfer divine power to living descendants in the way other deities in Essaria do.   All dwarf clans claim to stem from the mythical Clan Avrum, a pantheon of dwarven gods who were said to be the saviors of the dwarven race. As such, the dwarven clans revere Clan Avrum equally.
