Magic isn't safe, the Land of Dreams isn't safe...but neither is any other part of our world. Acknowledging it, working with it at least hasn't lead to the big wars the lowlanders have brought upon themselves.
My people still worship the old gods of the Alamarri, the chief among them Korth the Mountain-Father, Hakkon Wintersbreath, and The Lady of the Skies. There are many more -nature spirits, legendary mortals who ascended- and those tend to vary with each hold, but everyone reveres the first three. We believe that the gods live in all things; wind from an unexpected direction, birds flying in unusual patterns, a sudden, fierce storm—these are nothing but chance to a lowlander, but are messages from the gods to an Avvar. We know better, and we listen.
The gods are a major part of our lives, in many ways. We invoke them for strength in battle or ask them for advice. Some gods have lived in their holds for many generations, guiding our people.
