The religious context of Arcaea means that she has no great faith which has arise in her own lands, but has instead become the most steadfast realm of the Aenil in spirit and build, alongside the home of the faith, Greater Aenilia. With a King who considers himself to be a crusader of the faith, avenging the deaths of his countrymen and purging the world of madness and heresy in the form of southern rulers pretending to be gods, this fervent adherence is no suprise. At the same time the religious practices of Arcaea seem to be both formalised but unregulated, superceded by the charisma of their nobility and the valour of their knighthood. Some might call this not going far enough for the sake of faith, but those familiar with the Magna Aenilia Ecclesia can easily see the causes for this - a lack of strong leadership and a system of beliefs which give way to an almost intrinsic individual and communal sense of worth in the face of their higher, divine beings. Since the Aenil number far more than humanity and are attracted to the mental aura of our intentions, temples are places of learning and theological discussion as well as worship. Since the fate of Aenilic battles affect the lives of men like waves upon the water, the people of Arcaea strive to do their part in response.
On the edges of Arcaea have been integrated the faiths of Adgharanism and the Church of Sartan, the former tolerated amiably and the latter usually absorbed into Aenilic faith where possible, seeing as Sartan is considered by most of the Aenilic faith to be merely one of the greater Aenilic Generals aside from a divine being of his own right. This policy is in large part due to the aggression that the most fervent, and independent, followers of Sartan have show to Arcaea. There used to be traces of the Order of the Elders and Communionism, but such faiths were apart of Ethialan lands conquered and have retreated from the north almost entirely aside from members of Nighthelm within Arcaea.
A new minor religion has recently been founded within the borders of Arcaea, Cra'ithil
