i havent been in the fandom that long so idk if this is a thing already, but i love the idea of empowered religions and cultures
of course there's the meridian, we all know that's canon, but empowered people didn't grow up with the gods that the demons did so I wonder what they believe in.
I wonder if earth element elementals were brought up with the idea that the earth themselves granted them that power, maybe they would have some sort of daily ritual, blessing the earth as the earth blessed them. teaching them appreciation and gratitude. like saying grace before a meal.
I wonder if in air elemental folklore, the meridian is held up by the wind, so maybe in traditional air elemental funerals they send something up into the sky as a way of parting, the way one would release doves or something.
i think that having whole races names good ideas for different cultures, folklore, religions etc.
do they have cultural foods? dances? clothes? music? this would imply that, at one point, the magical races divided themselves into categories.
do they believe in gods? would that differ amongst magical races or would they all have one god? do those gods correlate with unempowered religion like christianity or hinduism? maybe based off of those texts but re-interpretted or with alternative translations in a way where magic is implied or directly spoken of? maybe there are alternate texts entirely
even if they're outdated, but people still hold onto those mannerisms, like the way non religious people say bless you after someone sneezes
