The old religion still holds sway over many regions, and most of the bigger cities host a temple to the old deities. While the Unelesia view the followers of this religion as misguided at best or heretics at worst, the Polythesians are content to their own beliefs and rituals.
They have always had a more open minded view of the world around them and the reemergence of magic only strengthens their beliefs. While the Unelesian see the pantheon of deities as servants of the Creator, the Polythesians see the Creator as an absent father and the deities as the ones who watch over and protect those who ask for their favor.
