Cerentians were once the continent's proudest, mightiest, and fairest folk; the chosen people of Karna himself. They were brought low by a calamity known as "the void dragon", but nobody really knows what that means. Their beautiful green land was turned into poison and dust. Their wondrous king was taken from them and mutated by a cursed land. They regard The Reign of Eld in Orchalannon as little better than pirates for having subjugated them in a moment of crisis. They are also heretics for appropriating the faith for political aims. They view Orisaarland as a pack of wilfully insane heretics. They regard Breccia similarly. Altonians are heretics who are disrespecting the historical ruins of Armorcia, while the Canidaur race are merely monsters, chimerae, and their queen Serzy Montaigne is plainly a heretical madwoman. The The Tamar Towpath Cartel of Kurzmarch Ford are decadent "river pirates" and heretics to boot. The Mashaya think that god is a river. They are heretics, and their papercraft is insane.
The Cerentian worldview has been strongly shaped by recent history, to put it simply. They
see all the continental kingdoms as (at best) bystanders in a cosmic
crime committed against them, and more often as unsympathetic and
delusional subhumans. They remember their past, and they
have history's biggest chip on their shoulder. They keep their faith
more fiercely than ever, and they are determined to shine again with a
cleansing light of ancient fire. The Cerentian people are determined to
find out what destroyed their land and demand satisfaction.
