The Tretallë worship the Nine, a pantheon of gods separated into three groups of three. Though the Stranger, the Ninth and highest god in the hierarchy is the most dominant in worship, there are certain sects of the Faith of the Nine that pay greater respect to one of the others while maintaining a healthy reverence for the Stranger.

Clergy

The sacerdotal duties and authority of the Faith of the Nine fall squarely upon the shoulders of two distinct but intermingling and complementary groups: the clerical or priestly caste, and the templar or warlike caste. Members of the first caste are called D'Dasêrrë Di'Nenn, the Instruments of the Nine, and members of the second are known as D'Mârrë Di'Lertanys, the Hands of the Stranger, often referred to as the Di'Dasêrrë and Di'Mârrë respectively.

(Life Domain) Di'Trevîssi Kreýda — a small group of Tretalleri cavalrymen who devote their lives to the Mother, the Blacksmith, and the Light, the gods that represent creation and positivity from each of the three sub-groupings of the Nine.

(Light and Knowledge Domains) D'Dênë Leýfë — A subset of the Hunter corps, the Suns of Hope devote their lives to the Crone, the Father, and the Light, the gods that represent guidance from the three trinities of the Nine.

(Tempest and War Domains) Di'Khitêýfë — A small but growing sect popular amongst soldiers living on the front lines. Among the Storms, as they like to call themselves, the Darkness, the Rider, and the Maiden are the most important deities. These gods, collectively, represent the raw emotions that often govern battle. The Maiden, particularly, who embodies love between friends and partners, also represents the reason that many of these soldiers fight.

(Trickery Domain) D'Vetla Ânma — A frowned upon, but not discriminated upon sect of faithful, the adherents of the Black Souls view theft and stealing and underground dealings or perhaps smoke and mirrors and performances of illusion as necessary for the poor to lift themselves from poverty. To this end, they call upon the Darkness to hide them, the Crone to guide them, and the Father to ensure that they do not stray too far from the path that is good and that they do not become lowly thieves who commit crime for no reason other than to benefit the self.

(Nature Domain) Di'Tirgâltë — The Un-bound are free spirits who prefer to roam the forests and the bounties of the Termalttë and the lands beyond. They prefer to think of themselves as free of the trappings of civilization, relying on the earth and the kindness of strangers to sustain themselves. They worship the Maiden, who is the most free of the gods, the Rider who respects no bounds and authorities, and the Stranger, so that if ever death comes to them in their travels, the Stranger will be close to grant them peace.
