Agnostics acknowledge that divine beings exist, but choose not to devote themselves to any particular deity, church, or organized religion. In the world of The City of Gold, the existence of the gods is accepted as reality. The question is not whether gods exist, but which gods deserve one's loyalty, worship, and trust. Agnostics remain spiritually unaffiliated until they willingly embrace a religion.

The Aurora Faith

Classification: Monotheistic

Petition Signatures7 / 100

Magic existed. It vanished. It can return. The Aurora Faith holds that Arkadia is a diminished world, and that the loss of magic is not permanent. Groulala was the last to command magic, and the only one to write down how it worked. His pages survive scattered — a margin here, a word copied by a scribe who understood none of it. Gathering them is the work. Aurorians point to the blessings as proof: altars still grant them, and nobody can say by what mechanism. Something is still running in a world that should have nothing left. We keep every written thing, because any fragment may carry a trace. We declare nothing impossible without asking why. And should magic return, it will belong to no one. We await the Aurora of the Great Return. Others call us Groulalians. We do not mind.

The DisOrder of Goulala

GROULALA Mage-God, First Knower, Patron of Builders, Spreadsheets, and Moderate Drinkers In the beginning there was no hall, no chest, no toad slime sorted by category. There was only disorder. And the disorder pleased Groulala, for in it he recognized his own method of government: disorder and simultaneous freedom of speech. Groulala is not a god who commands. He is a god who appears — usually at first light, rarely sober, always with good advice. He asks for neither sacrifice nor obedience. There is no faith but a state of mind. A humanism in search of wisdom, culture, and brotherhood — pursued across infinite time and in compulsory good humour. May your hall stand straight, your chest stay sorted, your cup stay full, and your laughter stay honest. Greegraa !

The Old Gods

Classification: Polytheistic

Petition Signatures4 / 100

The Old Gods are a pantheon of innumerate and unnamed spirits of nature, which are worshiped by many people of the North and small numbers elsewhere in the kingdom. It was once the chief religion of the Kingdom, but has now been supplanted by other faiths and beliefs. The religion believes in innumerable and unnamed nature gods, the spirits of each tree, each rock, and each stream. Worshipers of the Old Gods do not have elaborate ceremonies, holy texts, hierarchies of priests, or very large structures of worship like cathedrals, but instead Instead they practice quiet contemplation in woods, small areas of forest, The faith of the Old Gods is personal and less structured than other religions, though some basic social violations are proscribed by it.

Since the dawn of humanity, we have walked among trees as both neighbors and mysteries. Their towering trunks, ancient rings, and whispering leaves stirred the imagination of early societies long before science explained photosynthesis. Across the globe, people believed trees were alive—not just biologically, but spiritually. Within their roots and branches dwelled unseen beings: guardians, tricksters, and sometimes vengeful spirits. This worldview, known as animism, shaped countless myths and rituals. Animism is not just a religion of one tribe or one nation—it is a way of perceiving the entire world as alive. And at the heart of animistic belief stands the tree, that eternal axis between sky and earth.
