Whereas the ancient beliefs in supernatural beings has been quashed throughout Great Askhor, in Salphoria the belief in and worship of "spirits" still survives. The exact nature of the ceremonies and shrines varies from region to region and even from tribe to tribe, but the intermingling of old customs has led to a more or less coherent pantheon.

  Spirits are known by many names across Salphoria, and their exact appearance, deeds and moods may change, but all are embodiments of nature and the world. The spirits bring rain and sun, cause plants to grow, raise up mountains and sweep the lands with plague. They can be entreated for favour or appeased with offerings, but their relationship to the peoples of Salphoria is inconsistent – just as likely to deliver pestilence as a bountiful crop.

  Some tribes have priesthoods dedicated to the spirits, though usually this role is taken on by the chieftain as being their most favoured individual. Priests do not act as intermediaries to the spirits, but they are responsible for creation and upkeep of shrines dedicated to a particular deity. There are many ceremonies and festivals attended by Salphors throughout the year, particularly in spring and autumn when crops are sown and harvests made. On these occasions, the people sing the praises of benevolent spirits and build great fires and raise a great clamour to drive away those that are hostile.
