 One of Buyuk Vahsi’s most distinguishing cultural features is the three primary religious groups that live in close contact, having come to a mutual agreement to live and let live. This diversity of perspective is found throughout the nation, and it is considered good to expose oneself to as many perspectives that differ from yours as possible.
-  * The Aakaash worship the Jaernian gods and live on the surface. They venerate Julius most of all, offering some reverence to the academic deities, Thoth and Vormaxia. Vahrun is also respected, as is Seherine. Aakaashi festivals are usually quiet affairs, taking place within households in the evening or night. Values of temperance and obedience are emphasized in Aakaashi culture, and one is expected to honor their elders in the family.

   * The Kaivalya do not worship the Jaernian gods, instead following a druidic faith led by sramana (holy people or shamans). They believe that spirits exist in all of nature, and in some creations of humanity as well; these spirits are to be respected, and respect will lead to good luck and health for those following this faith. When one thinks of Buyuk Vahsian festivals, it is most likely a Kaivalyi festival that comes to mind. These are organized in city centers, often involving bright lights, energetic dances and music, or splashes of paint all about the plaza and on those in attendance.
   * The Buyuki live underground, and worship the gods. The environment of Buyuk is notably harsher than Vahsi, and as such the Buyuki have come to worship the more warlike gods, such as Marutuk and Aremakh. Strength is important in the caverns, as natural threats in the form of aggressive beasts and toxic plants still exist to all but the most fortified cities. Respect towards nature is still emphasized, as taking the environment of Buyuk to be something conquerable by mortals is tantamount to throwing your life into the maw of a devouring plant.
