There is also a great diversity of beliefs. Ancestor worship is less common, along with reverence for the ''murráficos'', who are considered rustic and uncivilised, but still present, especially in among northerners moved south after the war. Polytheism and animism are popular, and local gods are worshipped alongside Old Aeranid and Talothic ones, and the Great Maker. Some, even outside of ethnic Fassermen, still worship the Fasser gods. ''Elguenum'', an amalgamation of the current supreme god of the Fasser throne of heaven, ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>ilwa'', and the post-Aeranid god ''avin aënumun'' ('eternal sun'), is popular amongst many. | There is also a great diversity of beliefs.

===== '''Dress''' ===== | |||
Fashion in the north is generally conservative, with a preference for stiff, form fitting clothing that covers most of the body. Typical northern Tevrén clothing consists of a linen shirt, with collar or [[w:Ruff (clothing)|ruff and matching wrist ruffs. Over the shirt is word a stiff, heavy [[w:Doublet (clothing)|doublet]] reinforces with boning. Optionally a [[w:Jerkin (clothing)|jerkin]], a sleeveless padded vest, is worn above the doublet. | |||
Hose are generally worn on the legs along with a codpiece. Very short ''trunk hose'', padded hose worn over fitted ''cannions'', are popular, but less padded in northern Tevrén than in other regions. Long dresses are occasionally seen, but they are often light and practical, split open for ease of movement and worn with hose beneath. | |||
Pieces of armour, decorative or otherwise, are commonly worn by the upper class in conjuncture with everyday clothing. This may include a [[w:Gorget|gorget]], [[w:Cuirass|cuirass]], or [[w:Pauldron|pauldrons]]. | |||
Colouring is usually austere, with a tendency towards black, although maroon accents are popular, as maroon is the colour of the Tevrén monarchy. Buff and uncoloured leather is another common choice. Reserve, practicality in combat, and fine workmanship were valued as opposed to flash and bombast. | |||
