Gods of Law
The Gods of Law are a pantheon of deities revered across Albion. Their teachings and guidance form the central beliefs of the way of life in Albion. They encourage personal development and improvement, favouring those who devote their lives to a good cause, helping others and working for a better and more just society.
To the people of Albion, the Gods are distant entities who rarely interact with mortals. Instead they act to influence and inspire people to achieve greatness through their own acts. For most people the Gods serve as an aspiration to which to aspire, the pinnacle of what one could hope to achieve through service, kindly acts or personal toil. The Gods recognise that everyone is unique and flawed and many will fail to help themselves and others. Even the smallest achievement may bring great rewards if it is undertaken with the right intentions. Trying and failing is better in their eyes than not having tried in the first instant.

Across the land of Albion the Gods of Law are worshipped and seen in many different ways. In some regions they are spoken of as ancient beings who once walked the green hills of Albion seeking to create a land of the Good and Righteous. Elsewhere they are spoken of as celestial entities that watch from the heavens and judge the actions and deeds of mortals below. Even within the Churches of Law there are numerous theological viewpoints and arguements over the nature of the Gods and their plans for the people of Albion. Some may identify with specific aspects of a God, interpreting their teachings in ways that may seem confusing or offensive to others. It must be remembered however, that the Gods of Law and the principles for which they stand are ones of tolerance, friendship and cooperation.
Other Religions
Whilst the Gods of Law are the official and state religion of Albion, supported through the Laws of the Land and by Will of the Crown, it is generally recognised that these deities are tied to Albion and that other deities do exist elsewhere in the world. However, these are of little concern as they do not reflect the needs and wants of the people of Albion. It is also known that there exist at least two other minor deities that at times have been associated with a greater pantheon in Albion. These faiths tend to be found on the edges of society, sometimes hidden from sight or at least keeping a respectful distance from the more established churches.
Fellowship of Mithras - Members of this religion follow the teachings of the entity known as Mithras, God of Neutrality. Adherents to the faith seek to avoid confrontation and the taking of sides, instead hoping to act as a balance between two sides.
Cults of Ranalf - A shadowy faith that venerate Ranalf, Lord of Thieves and Tricksters. Many sects are believed to exist each with distinct agendas, some seek to sow discord and enact elaborate schemes and jokes, whilst others run smuggling outfits and criminal gangs that defy the Laws of the Land.
