Religions of Middraset

Throughout most of Middraset, the populace worship a pantheon of primary gods and goddesses. Each of the gods are recognized by their aspects and domains, though different regions will often gave them different names.   As the Cesarican empire spread, general understandings of the gods and how they were called began to be consolidated and unified into a more universally accepted conception of these divine beings.

Ancestral Veneration of Osir

As the household and family are highly integral to Osiran culture, it is unsurprising that a tradition of ancestral veneration and worship has developed in the country. Most households have a household shrine dedicated to their direct ancestors. In larger and older households, particularly accomplished and notable ancestors are often given their own specific shrine in addition to the household shrine.   When an Osiran gains citizenship, they are often given a gift to start their household by their parents. In a similar way, the personal virtues and traits that a person has are gifted to them from the households of their ancestors. While the gods have control over the natural world, an individual's vices and virtues are believed to come from their parents and grandparents.   It is expected that people will give offerings and prayers to their ancestors in gratitude for the skills that have lead to their accomplishments as well as for the request of such gifts.
