Common people have adopted the faith of the Church of Elements, but the old pagan practices linger on and have recently gained new vitality. Within most villages, there are both true worshipers of the Church of Elements (who condemn all forms of witchcraft as evil) and full-blooded pagans (who oppose the spread of Church doctrines). However, most of the people are in the midst of these two extremes. The faith of the Church of Elements is strongest in the southern provinces around Vaerlon, the heathen are the most vibrant in the northern frontiers.
 
A typical commoner worships the Church of Elements sincerely, but will use hex words when needed. They will also practice the old worship rites, and not see that they conflict with the Church. Being practical, they know there are a lot of powerful supernatural beings in the world and it is common sense that you try to have a good relationship with everyone. Commoners approve of the wisdom of the priests and priestesses of the Church of Elements, but they believe that in the ordinary world, there are other, more practical ideas which must be taken into consideration, and the Church does not seem to be aware of those forces.
