===Wila===
{{Main|Setting:Unified Setting/Drow}}
For ruthless, cutthroat raiders turned ruthless, cutthroat merchants the Wila are a surprisingly pious race. Wila take their religion very seriously, but consider it a private and personal matter.

The Wila faith is a theistic religion, but it is unclear which or how many gods they actually worship. This is because their pantheon is known as the Masquerade, and the gods are represented by different masks. During ceremonies, the actors/clerics playing the roles of gods frequently swap masks to show the interchangeability of roles in society, and the need to be adaptable.

Paramount amongst their gods is Zantos, The Faceless God (believed to be the moon by some, darkness by others and all or none by others still). Zantos is always portrayed as weaker than his foes, but intelligent. He almost always triumphs though, through trickery, cunning or preparation. While the other gods of the Masquerade have ornate masks, Zantos is plain and featureless.

Because of the importance of masks in Wila ceremony, worshippers don such masks as well. Older Wila are known to wear masks during daily life, but most don them only at church, on special religious occasions or during private worship. Worship for the Wila, either at church or in private consists of experiencing tales from their holy book, which consists of the collected tales of their gods. One notable tale is Zantos versus the Faceless God, which sets Zantos against an enigmatic figure wearing his own trademark mask.

Outside historians studying the Wila religion have questioned the origin of these stories and suggest many are confessional in nature. Due to the Wila penchant for scheming it would be unwise for a trickster to reveal his triumph. Instead, say some scholars, they tell the tale in terms of archetypes, which remove any incriminating details.

The Wila admit this is possible, as they have no centralized church. The stories of the gods are ongoing and new plays and sermons are produced weekly across [[Setting:Unified Setting/Londerfell#Zirnatraog|Zirnitraog]]. The extremely popular ones are incorporated into their holy book, while tired tales are sent to the archives. Since they see their tales as providing illumination and education instead of a historical record they welcome new works that can show them the path to success and communion with their peculiar gods.
