From the introduction: Like every aspect of Bariaur society, Bariaur religion is heavily affected by the Bariaur nomadic lifestyle. Religion in sedentary cultures is formed and determined by centres of worship. Temples or churches are built, religious orders acquire land (and thus power) and believers congregate around these centres in villages or towns, supporting the religion. Nomadic cultures are quite different. Religion in nomadic cultures can develop in a variety of ways.
