Ok here's how I envision this working. You take one, two, or maaaaaaybe three of your conpeoples' gods/goddesses/divine forces/philosophical factions/atheisms/what have you and describe them, maybe summarize their CV, tell their origin story, their death story (you never know!), detail a cult or state religion dedicated to them, what have you. I'll start off.
Erĕli, Trickster demigod
consort to Xamašeyau
patron of travelers
most powerful of the demigods, worshipped by some as a god
Xamašeyau
goddess of the dead
protector of the persecuted righteous
matron goddess of prostitutes and ne'er-do-well women
also widely worshipped as a (potentially) vengeful mother goddess in Ičetrou, Išeneli, and Tešahi, as well as in many of the western colonies.
Xamašeyau was the daughter of the most powerful ruler of Dešegrau {the Aztlan of the Southern peoples}, she fell in love with a dashing foreigner (which was forbidden as the daughter of the ruler). She was found out, judged guilty, and burned alive (the ultimate insult to the Kanaši). Her lover did not know this, and when he came back from his travels to claim her, and discovered the manner of her death he became enraged and showed his true form, Erĕli the trickster god. It not being within his power to resurrect her on the mortal realm, he instead transfused her soul with a piece of the gods' flame, effectively rendering her immortal and a goddess. They roused the demons of the Underworld, unspeakable creatures bound to Urol ir-Šaol {creator of Šaol before he was overthrown by his children}, released solely for this purpose, and laid waste to the ruler's city and forced its people to flee in terror. They then took up residence in the Fields of Nerisel, judging the dead and assigning them to their proper eternity.
