Shadism

Shadism, or The Path of the Wild, is a major religion found in South West Estermark. Its believers are mainly humans of the Kingdoms of Trowmelk, Coruna and Teringham, but also include some Wood Elves, Vampires and Merfolk. The major beliefs of the religion are: freedom, chaos, respect of nature and survival of the fittest. The religion is often associated, with good reason, to sorcery including blood magic. Due to this it has become a great rival of the Chantry of Torchlight, whose followers primarily believe in the power of light and order as protection from the evils of chaos and the wilds.
