| - The Faith o' Nine is an Enntheonic Faith, a branch of the Noonic Faiths, which themselves make up the largest branch of Parpolytheistic Faiths, the faiths originating, at least in part, from the polytheistic, animist faiths of the Illicatishmen living in Western Parthalenn before the arrival of the Ayish Kingdom. It is neither truly polytheistic, nor animist, and like Arachnoid Faiths, the other large branch of the Noonic Faiths, it holds that there are these nine gods: Yornn, Ana, Mattes, Saye, Enn, Elkett, Tarttes, Nari, and Canetol.

| - The Faith o' Nine is an Enntheonic Faith, a branch of the Noonic Faiths, which themselves make up the largest branch of Parpolytheistic Faiths, the faiths originating, at least in part, from the polytheistic, animist faiths of the Illicatishmen living in Western Parthalenn before the arrival of the Ayish Kingdom. It is neither truly polytheistic, nor animist, and like Arachnoid Faiths, the other large branch of the Noonic Faiths, it holds that there are these nine gods: Yornn, Ana, Mattes, Saye, Enn, Elkett, Tarttes, Nari, and Canetol. Unlike the Arachnoid Faiths that hold that the other eight gods bow to Ana (whom they call Anasia, and Iksas), the Faith o' Nine holds that these nine gods are part of one true God. These gods all have specific domains which they rule over: Yornn is the God-From-the-Lightning, the God-Frozen, the God-in-the-Breeze, the Prince of the Gods, King of Eternity, Father of Fathers, and Father on Third Earth; Ana is the Goddess-in-the-Flames, Goddess-in-the-Stone, and Goddess o' Fuck, wife of Yornn, Pregnant Princess, Queen of Eternity, Mother of Mothers, and Mother on Third Earth; Mattes is the God-of-the-Shadow, God o' the Ninthlife, God-of-Evil, brother to Yornn, Warden of Eternity, and Father on that Earth; Saye is the Goddess-in-the-Shine, Goddess-Beyond-the-Blood, Goddess-that-Prospers, Goddess-o'-Kings-and-Queens, wife of Mattes, sister of Ana, and Bearer of Eternity; Enn is the God-Beneath-the-Greenery, God-of-Peace, God-in-the-Music, God o' Fertility (or God o' Gardens), God-in-Knowledge, and Caretaker of Eternity; Elkett is the God-of-Slaves-and-Slavery, the God-of-Suffering, the God-of-the-Hunt (or the God o' Spears), the God-of-our-Hearts (or the God o' Souls), son of Mattes, Godson of Yornn (who lends him his lightning), Hunter of Hunters, Tailor of Tailors (in both senses, as He is also the God-of-the-Skilled), and Son of Sons; Tarttes is God-of-Grandeur, God-of-Explorers, God-of-Guidance, God-of-the-Great-Seas, second son of Mattes, and Saye, brother of Elkett, and Master of Mountains; Nari is the Goddess-of-Bastardry, the Goddess-of-Hornmen, the Goddess-of-Giants, the Goddess-of-Dwarves, the Goddess-Ashamed, the daughter of Mattes, and Saye, and the sister of Elkett, and Tarttes, the Sister of Sisters, and the Horndaughter. Finally, there is Canetol, the God-of-War, the God-of-Freedom, the God-of-the-Faithful, the God-of-Lealty, the God-of-Hope, the God-of-Redemption, the God-of-Forgiveness, the God-of-the-People, son of Yornn, and Ana, Slave of Slaves, Miraclemaker, Warwager, and Rebel of Rebels. These nine gods are simultaneously held to be fully their own people, and fully part of 10th. (Ampersands are written in place of “and” in these names) Worshippers of these gods gather for great-works at nonagogues, where they listen to sugar priests read out pages, paragraphs, and sentences from the Book of Books, the holy book of the faith. The Book of Books was written by Freedmon, the finder of the faith who led 100,000 slaves out from the Rainbow City to Haruirrin. He built the first nonagouge, Freedmon's Nonagogue, in Haruirrin; the preeminent nonagogue of the faith was the Halfhouse in Lobtonne. The Faith o' Nine was popular among Sefenlander slaves before Billow's Rebellion, and after it, the slaves brought it to the newly-finded Coldlands. During Billow's Rebellion, the son of slave master Erz Black, who was de-bodied by Billow the Slave, Erzael Black, fled the Calm Isles where the rebellion was happening, and went to Snowflake Isle. There he came to live among the Last Sealhag, who was said to be able to see into the future. They supposedly taught him how to do this, and he was given visions of himself visiting Mount Beles, the tallest mountain in the Delklands. There, he was told that Billow the Slave, who led the rebellion, was the avatar of Canetol, one of the nine gods.
