Beliefs

The kairyll have their own set of deities, but freely include the deities of the other species of Melphor into their shrines. The kairyll deities are only worshipped by the kairyll and are largely ignored by the people of Melphor, most notably the ones living on the continent of Ardren. Those of Keltos acknowledge these deities and include them into their calendars.
