Shaman Society
Shamans worship the spirits of things rather than a "God" or deity. They feel the pull of the strings of the universe. They feel the ebb and flow of life, the connections between all living things and memories. While Shamans of most orders are friendly with one another, the Great Shaman Summit only occurs every 3 years, where diplomats and leaders from each order come together and ensure that the spirits are all in balance.
​
As Shamans work with the spirits of things, they are usually well-versed on religions that are linked, even peripherally to their spirit. Below is the list of Shaman Orders, their runic symbol, and which religions they are usually incorporated into.
