While the Effervanders are polytheistic in theory like the rest of the Ferali people, their primary focus at their temple is on Naenoe. There are icons depicting the remainder of the pantheon, but this is admittedly only so that the other gods won't feel offended. Open worship of anyone other than Naenoe is seen as highly strange.<br>

Nenoe is the the god of abundance, but He has many other titles:<br>
The Giver of Plenty, He Who Decrees, The Many-Named, The Smiter<br>
