The Yelm Pantheon is heavily worshipped in the Empire, particularily =
the "Old Empire" or Dara Happa as it is commonly known. The Red =
Emperor is a Yelmic Emperor, the Lunar Empire is a Dara Happan =
Empire. The Yelmic elite are not empowered in the same way they =

There are storm deities in the Yelmic pantheon, like Doburdan and =
to a degree, Shargash. As for sorcerous worship, this is usually =
concentrated in Carmania where the Idovanic school is very strong. =
The Emperor is also Shah of carmania and is therefore the top man =
in the Idovanic school. Other forms of materialistic worship do exist.
Mystical worship is also extremely strong but most worship is theistic.

There will be a full list of key words, hero bands and special organisations =
and cults in the new Lunar source book for HW, but that is in the future =
and doesn't really help you now. The best policy is to use what you have= =

Ask some more if need be. Thats what we're here for.
