Mikalea asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

Hi Jen! Can you give us any details about Carthya’s religion? Is it shared throughout the surrounding countries?

Jennifer A. Nielsen There is no state or official religion, but most Carthyans believe that most people are generally good and on the road to joining the Saints in the afterlife – their concept of heaven. However, the devils will target certain people or even lay claim to them, and bring whatever misery is necessary into their life for their personal entertainment. Hence the saying, “The devils have you.”

Variations of this belief exist in the surrounding countries, though Avenia and Gelyn aren’t particularly religious places and Mendenwal is much stronger in the belief of an afterlife of rest with the Saints.
