Asvarre Deities
In Asvarre, the mainstream religion worship Artorias and his Knights of Round Table as deities. Prayers are delivered to the Knights and there are shrines all across the kingdom for the Knights, especially in lands where they performed great deed.

Note: Information based on Madan no Ou to Carnwenhan spin-off.

There is paradox with local myths surrounding the Knights of Round Table. There are many Knights of the Round Table pilgrimage site across Asvarre's island and continent side. But according to historical record, Arturius and his knights (except Lancelot) never leaves the island in their lifetime. Asvarre only expand to the continent side in era of Zephiria, long after Arturius and his knights passed away. Opinion of folklorists such as Guinevere and Lynette is the various myths are actually local lores combined into the new faith towards the Knights.

Long time ago, Asvarre people, including Artorius himself, holds faith to gods and spirits. This old faith still survive in remote regions, although the rituals has been mostly forgotten.

Fairies are seen as servants to the gods. They used to freely interact with human they took a liking of, but as time passes, human starts fearing and hunting them, so they begin to avoid human. Morgan, the fairy who took a liking of Tigre, knows about Tir Na Fal, hinting connection between the deities, or even the same gods worshiped.

Fairies are classified into the Seelie Court and Unseelie Court. Despite the classification, both are two sides, and even a good fairy can become evil as myths are told. Likewise the other way around. Even the good fairies can do things such as "inviting" (or kidnapping) humans whom they took a liking of. Good fairies gives the red and blue blessing, while Evil fairies gives red and black blessing.

Known fairies:
 * Morgan : Fairy who brought Tigre and Lim because she was interested on the human who cling to back of dragon. Knows and holds respect of Tir Na Fal. She told Tigre the Black Bow will answer him when its power is really needed, and how Tigre is blessed by the Goddess. She also took a liking of Tigre and gift him a ring made of her hair, to help draw power from the Black Bow.
 * Merlin : The evil fairy, Morgan's younger brother. He is imprisoned. Merlin has child with human, Mordred, but rather than feeling angry when his son is killed, he is instead feeling very excited for the show.
 * Fairy of the Lake : Gives the Carnwenhan to Limalisha. According to Morgan, she likes hardworking human. It is still unknown if this is the same fairy as Sir Lancelot's foster mother.
 * Cait Sith : Servant of Morgan. A talking cat, although his voice can only be heard by people he acknowledged. Seems to be respected, and acts arrogant, but also useless in many other moments. Loves fresh fish and being pampered. He (and all cats) refers to all human as "servant". The cats themselves don't have name, so Cait Sith is a name given in human's tales.

Other Gods, Goddesses, and faeries

 * Vahram: A god of war worshiped by Muozinel, it also appeared on their war flags.
 * Tyr: A god of war worshiped by Sachstein, it's Triglav of Brune and Zhcted gods is same as Sachstein.

 * Tir Na Fal is the wife of Perkunas, his older sister, his younger sister, and his arch-nemesis in the cycle of life. As the only deity hostile toward Perkunas, her inclusion amongst the pantheon of Ten Gods is (often) discussed between shamans and priests hundreds, thousands of times.
