Chapter 624 - The Adventurer (34)

Another new religion that emerged was the Faith of the Forgotten, whose adherents believed that humanity had been abandoned by the old gods and that their only hope lay in remembering and honoring the dead. They built vast necropolises where they would gather to commune with the spirits of their ancestors, seeking guidance and protection from beyond the grave. This faith often led to practices involving necromancy and communication with the dead, which, while initially benign, sometimes spiraled into darker territory as desperate priests sought more powerful means of securing their survival. The Faith of the Forgotten became one of the most widespread religions, especially in areas where the dead outnumbered the living.
