VERY good point there Honora. Even when people worship the same god, doesn't mean that they necessarily like eachother. All we have listed are the gods themselves, but only in a few spots of the dogma have we even mentioned the sects within the faiths. Lucinda is the prime example with defenders of the weave, shapers, guardians, etc.. they have about 3 major branches/orders which operate and think very differently from one another. Grandites are horribly prone to infighting since they have trouble deciding between old anscestor worship, purely grand worshipping ways, or even older shamanic rituals of their culture. No doubt for all of the religions there are numerous sub-sects and "cults" within them which can come to blows with one another. Just look at Sunnis vs. Shiites in the real world... same allah, still warring. Catholics and Protestants? Just believing in a specific God and what he taught hardly guaruntees peaceable cohesion between all of the faithful. In the asbence of opposed gods to war upon, there spring up opposition within the same faith over smaller differences of logos and practice.
I bet most Voraxians debate theology via fist-fight!
