Virtuism is a polytheistic religion heavily based on its followers. It depends on one doing the right thing, not for a reward or fear of punishment, but because it is the right thing to do.

Dogma[]
The religion teaches their gods are without name and are only given titles so their followers can better identify with and distinguish between them. They also believe they are without form or gender and may not be seen or heard. Only people can experience their domains.
