This section is slightly contradictory and confusing in places so you can say what elements you do like and not and what fits etc. Not quite sure on the stance of having both a pantheon and worshipping spirits/wisps. Things that are more concrete are blue.
- Itaeia worship wisps, believing them to be ancestral spirits who have not passed on into the next world
- Despite a widespread Itaeian presence across Crecia, their religious beliefs have not waivered and are rarely affected by external beliefs.
- Itaeia believe in reincarnation, death simply being a passage into the next life.
- It is important for Itaeia to not die as a result of burning, and that deceased bodies not be incinerated, as it would cause their spirit to disappear and be unable to pass into the afterworld.
- Itaeia deceased are tied with sacred rocks and laid in the sea so that their body would sink back into the cycle.
- Itaeian mythology seems to have possibly originated from other similar beliefs from Forenya.
- Itaeian pantheon:
- Antler god of life and land, the hunt
- God of storm and sky
- Sea god
- Solar deity
- Mother goddess
- Healing deity
- Itaeia believe that there are many spirits and divine beings who inhabit the world around them, and can be contacted. Every aspect of the material world was inspirited.
- The physical world is seen as an immortal cycle, to which the spirits are bound: rain falls onto the earth which flows into the water which becomes rain.
- The Hunt
- The hunt is a ritual when the cycle is off balance. Spirits of the hunt have an ambivalent role as protectors of the hunters and the prey.
- Itaeia druids are required to be magic users, meaning that while they are powerful religious leaders, they are few and far between, often generations will pass without one in a clan.
- Itaeia henges can be seen constructed throughout the world, and are often a point of superstition among other races. The henges are often used to communicate with the deceased and other worlds.
