Church of the Old Way
The Old Way is the oldest religion in Once, a form of animism that excludes humanoids. Devotees of the Old Way believe that all objects, places, and creatures possess a distinct spiritual essence. This is different from the Green Way which believes in a shared spiritual essence. Old Way practitioners believe that the natural world is divine, and that Animals were created to be the guardians of nature. Humanoids, because of their pride, prejudice, and greed are a threat to the spiritual well-being of the world. As such, they need to be carefully monitored and their activities regularly checked. Devotees of the Old Way worship individually in nature—very few holidays are observed as a group.
Several extremist groups believe that all humanoids should be enslaved or exterminated.
