Mortal knowledge

What do mortals know or believe.....?

They know nothing honestly. anyone who is close to the truth is considered insane.

Faith / Beliefs are a reflection of our reality. Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Judaism, and any other religion you commonly can read about is what the everyday common mortal believes in.

Now the primary religions of the world are.

Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Hindu

Christianity and Islam with all of the variants are the most common faith groups of all globally.

In Asia Buddhism, and its variants

West Asia it is Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam

South East Asia and the pacific islands it is Christianity, Islam, and native faiths

South America is Christianity and native faiths primarily

North America is a melting pot of faiths

Europe is primarily some form of Christianity, old religion, and Islam

Middle east is primarily Islam

Judaism can be found just about anywhere in the world.

What this means to a player is that if they choose to have their character follow a faith, then they will perceive reality through the lens of said faith. To a Christian angels and demons ould be real, yet to a native believes it is evil spirits or ancestor spirits. To some, a werewolf and magic can exist and to others, it is not possible and will go into denial.

For the new Chronicles of Darkness, these will trigger breaking points. Remember to note this as part of who your character is. As humans, we rely heavily on our personal beliefs and faith and when something happens that is not explained by our faith, it shakes the very foundation of our perceptions and cracks it. We begin to doubt everything we have ever been taught and begin to loose touch with the reality we perceive. It is a kind of culture shock but one that cuts to the very mind and soul of the character.
