Saoirse is an average ignorant girl, mostly because she only ever was around her superstitious Gridanian parents and their deep Shroud wives tales and beliefs, or Noscean farmers and anyone within the Arcanist’s guild. She has a basic understanding of the aether, how it works, etc but everything else is in muddled bits and pieces. Since she's a “newly embarked†character, it hasn't come up yet, but I'm excited when it does.
She doesn't know what men's bodies look like unclothed. She's not sure if even all women look the same unclothed. She's convinced there's such a thing as reincarnation, and needs to bury people with their belongings for their “next lifeâ€. She doesn't believe in the Void because she's never seen it herself (lol) but believes there's an “otherworld†that spirits and ghastly monsters come from that in difficult conversation she’ll concede to calling The Void.
She believes that beyond the known Twelve there “local deitiesâ€, and that things who've been in our world for long such as large trees and boulders have spirits of their own. Offering beloved items to these spirits and local gods can grant favours, but sacrificing the wicked is the best way to appeal to the Twelve. She also believes that heads are precious as they control the undead spirit of the person they belong to, and separating it is a dangerous, selfish, and horrific thing to do.
(A lot of this is based off of Celtic polytheism/paganism admittedly) and that's all just the tip of the iceberg. Hiccups? You swallowed someone's breath and best get it out before you get sick. Milk spoils after a day? You made a friend mad and better apologise fast.
