Polytheism

Polytheism (from poly- (πολύς polús, “many”) and -theism (θεός theós, “god”) is the belief in more than one divine creator as opposed to monotheism. The oldest religions consisted of many creators who would each have contributed their knowing to the earth. There would be creators for physical landscapes such as mountains, sea, forests. Later polytheistic religions would add creators for more abstract ideas, examples would include love, fertility and war.

Polythestic myths can also include tales of mortals who have temporarily inherited the powers of the Gods.

Temples have been built, spread out throught the old world, one of the most impressive ones being in Alum.

Polytheism has declined since the introduction to Monotheism.

Notable Historical Examples
The first polytheistic religion that has had great importance is Zorantaism whose origins trace back to the Island of Palenthos (OTL Crete)
