Most Dýrians do not believe in religion. However in the midst of it, the small majority who do believe are going by their own traditional beliefs (not specified)

Katsyrian people have no religion. That means that there are not churches, and people don't believe in any god. The only holidays who are religious are Christmas and Easter, but they are celebrated in a total different way than in religious countries, among family or relatives, and not in churches. Of course there is a small percentage of people from other religions, mostly people who live close to the borders, so for such small communities its allowed to build church in the respective city or village.

Religion in Achróa The vast majority of the population is spiritual/superstitious, but they do not align to any religion. The term used in Achróa for this is Esprycism (es-prAI-kism). Around 98% of Achróa are (an) Esprite. The remainder of the population is non-religious or has another religion. Most of this includes immigrants from other countries. They account for 2%.

And their leader is Lykke Li. She has so mysterious songs.

There are some citizens in Katsyria who have a religion and who believe in someone mysterious. They claim to be believers of Great Hlias or just Hlias. There is just a small part of the country believing in this, in the southern region. A more detailed analyse about the history will be made and revealed later.

☩ HECATISM ☩
☩ Hecatism is a main religion in Ninelie. It is polytheistic religion with main goddess being Hecate. ☩ Is the sign of Hecatism.
It all started back when there were giant clouds over the land and there were very cold winters. Back than the people stayed inside their homes and never came out. They survived based on cultivated animals that were able to survived the harsh winters. To lose time, they decided to tell stories to each other. One mid-aged woman calling herself Hecate has known the most stories and played them with her harp. She usually told stories about some figures unknown to humans at least that was said by Dante, Nineliese historian, poet and writer known for writing Vita Gotica, the book detailing Nineliese religion and mythology. In his book, he told that one day, the people declared her as a witch and burned her alive. After that couple of natives told they were able to see her shadow every night and one day after 1 child visited the place her life was ended and as he has put the drawing of the sign (☩) she mentioned in one of her stories on her grave, the light suddenly came in with the image of the Wolf of Hecate . Turns out she was a child of Hecate, Hecate being the one who lead the route and gave it purpose and with that she has arrived to give the Ninelie his route that will last for centuries to come. Since then people started worshiping her and the figures inside the stories as known as 9 great gods of Ninelie. Vita Gotica started with that paragraph but...
...the real story really begins long ago, before humans arrived on Fantasia: "The Nature itself depicted inside Sara awaken and with it Hecate creating Blessed Isles, the ferstile and free land"
In this post, we won't cover any kind of mythical creatures, 7 demons or events of Nineliese Mythology. We will cover only the 9 great gods of Ninelie All of the informations about the gods (excluding Rin and Asuka as they were added later to the list of gods in 18th century - their information being depicted according to Hydean Folklore) were found inside the poems inside Vita Gotica.
Hecate ~ representing culture,sorcery, routes, mentality and fortune ~
Ninelie being country who focuses most over culture, it is not a shock for such a goddess to exist. She is depicted as a mystical woman with black hair and witch clothes and a purple harp with 2 more sides of her representing past and future as well as different moods human can have (Light - Blindness and Darkness - Peace). Two of her wolves are depicted as Juvia and Historia while the Turtle is depicted as Diana representing her royal wolves or formally said 3 aspects of Hecate. Even though she isn't highly connected to Ninelie, she's still the main reason Ninelie is what it is today and that's why she's the main goddess of religion of Ninelie and Hecatism is the name of it. Also adding the fact she's known as giving and protecting Nineliese past, present and future.
"Being born from the nature itself, said to be raised by nature itself, wolves as weapon and turtles as shield. She lead the way towards humanity and wisdom (through her daughter Historia) and later power and flow (through her daughter Juvia) as well as Light and Darkness spread into her to create her own self through Diana. She organized and develop life itself just to watch it get ruined by its own form that she chose to protect it. Pride is a demise and so is other 6 that she as well created."
Historia ~ representing Society, Wisdom and Liberty ~
Known also as blessed Beatrice, Historia represents the history itself, being the reincarnation of Hecate as a wolf royal to not only Hecate but to humanity. She created society and wisdom itself. Being given a life on Earth as a beautiful young blonde but shorter woman called Beatrice (according to Dante) that bliss followed whatever she go making any man (and woman) fall in love with her grace, elegance and what's unique to her is her heroism. She's the goddess of Nineliese just because she gave her life so Nineliese people can succeed. Her labor was to lead humanity to greatness known as society, freedom and love. She needed to find a man worth for Hecate to lead but instead she found a woman so blessed that the whole Nineliese people got Hecate's trust. She's given the name Beatrice by Dante due to his noble love for a woman that he found to be as blessed as Historia.
"Being treated hatefully by people who lead to ruin by only the woman she loved , she flew away with her love towards the coast where she liberated it all. Hate to be gone from this lands, let the wisdom and me fill it instead"
That lead to creation of Nineliese society, liberty and thought.
Juvia ~ representing Water, Oceans, Rivers, Flow, Revenge ~
Juvia (or sometimes called Piovia) is very important figure in the Nineliese's mythology. As Ninelie main economic resource is via trade, praying to Juvia for sail to be successful is an important task indeed. She can be lovable, kind god but sometimes jealousy can get the best of her and overall anger making ships to drown. That is why the rituals calming her down are done once every 3 months. She's queen of water spirits who eliminated the damned spirits during the Harrowing seasons and helps gives rain for agriculture.
"When the damned night come so does evil from the far, her water shakes, her sisters awaken coming from what has caused the land to crumble to bring it back to Sea. Her voice reaches the lands, her power reaches the heart and her spirit marks the living and the dark and now world is again put as one."
Diana ~ representing Magic, Moon, Witchcraft, Life, Cycles ~
Diana is just a goddess who represents the flow of life and all that comes with it. Also Magic and Witchcraft. Diana is depicted in stories as protectors of the rituals and resources as well as one who decides the lives of each person. She often lives in the deep woods and comes out when full moon comes. She is often believed to be seen operating the boat on Viano channels during full moon comes. As a protector of Gotica, Tenebria and Vecchiania she represents the model of the gothic culture of the country.
"Being the protector of the historic Verno on the north-east where her lady's known as the majestic blue light awakening through the darkness but marks the darkness and makes it beautiful and inspiring."
Arion ~ representing the North, Winter, Ice and the Winter Winds ~
Believed to be the one who calls the winter to come to Earth. In the Stories he is potrayed as 1st Dyrian to arrive on Ninelie. Since his arrival. Winter has began coming back. Winds would start and he would stay in Ninelie till the time for him leaving comes. He is also the main god of Dyrian Diaspora in the country. He married Diana near Viano (that's where the famous tamle of Arion and Diana is) and both of them are representatives of the Eastern Ninelie (him Vecchiania-Morrino-Costa Magenta and Diana Gotica-Tenebria)
Giovanni ~ representing Fire, Lightning, Natural Disasters, Youth, Wrath ~
As a son of the north (Arion) and the moon (Diana) , he's believed to be the one causing the natural disasters but also fixing them. Giovanni represents the wrath of the youth and their unawareness of consequences. Many stories potray him as a kid who likes to play with his powers often causing demise to the country. He's the protector of the eastern Ninelie.
"From the lands of Eastern Ninelie, comes the echoes of the North lands. From the water comes ice to bring the fire. From the darkness comes the light and who else knows what else will come from that love."
Rin ~ Hydean main goddess / representing light ~
Rin represents the good goddess of Hydean citizens. Hecatism followers adopted both her and Asuka, her opposite aspect twin sister in the 18th century when Hydea became the official province of Ninelie.. Ninelieans accepted both Asuka and Rin into their religion and adapted them as goddesses fighting for the will of Hydeans in the country. Rin is the Hydean goddess of light bringing the peace.
Asuka ~ Hydean main goddess / representing darkness ~
Asuka and Rin are 2 sisters and they usually fight for protection of Hydeans. While Rin fights for Liberty of Hydeans, Asuka fights for dominance of Hydeans. Asuka is the Hydean goddess of dark bringing the war. Both of them giving stability to the Hydean people.
Sara ~ The Creator / representing Nature ~
Believed as one who created Fantasia World in Ninelian view. Sara created the nature itself and is responsible for evolution and creation of mankind. Creating Blessed isles where most of gods (now above) today. Protecting the nature an its will even to this day with her ancestry.
"She came and with her the guide that brought both light and darkness and with it water, wisdom and power."

Religion in Dýria - Update
Dýria is a secular state. The government does not recognize one religion as a state religion, and all religions are accepted in the country. However, 80% of Dýrians have stated that they are irreligious, and have also stated that religion is unimportant and has no significant place in their lives.
16% have stated that they believe in traditional beliefs which have existed on the island for thousands of years, that are brought down from generation to generation.
4% are from other religions, the most popular ones being Christianity, Islam and Judaism, which are mostly brought by immigrants into the country.
