Uvüm Religion

In Ëlzho, religion is quite personal. People typically don't share their beliefs, only passing them down to family members. As their religion started to popularize community values, and their temples started to adopt certain church-like qualities, discussion became more common, but religion is still not common.

Naming Traditions

It's considered by most to be quite disrespectful to name one's children after a god. It's sometimes seen as taking away the meaning of the name, adding a layer of confusion, or claiming that the child is a sort of incarnation of the god. Despite this, some parents choose to name their children after some gods, believing that, if the child truly will some day be very successful, it will get the attention of the gods and they will support the child and have empathy for them. Some even believe such children are vessels of the gods. It's also not uncommon for someone to believe that the life of someone named after a god will be much harder, until they prove themself, leading to them growing stronger but still being guided by the gods once they have their place in life.
