Represent the dichotomy of life.

The Riverfolk believe in Father Willow and Mother Brook. All the blood in a halfling belongs to Mother Brook and all the flesh to Father Willow. During funeral rites a dead halfling is exsanguinated into the river and the flesh buried in a willow grove. Riverfolk maintain several of these groves along the river they're safe spaces and shrines in trying times more a temple then a settled town. If no river can be found a vial of blood is drawn and taken to one, a halfling not buried in this manner cannot reach the afterlife, and is doomed to wander the world as a ghost. Ever searching for a way to return to Mother Brook.

Father Willow and Mother Brook represent a dichotomy of halfling life. Mother Brook is a trickster constantly traveling and changing depending on who she meets, Father Willow, stolid and slow is doomed forever to chase her and pick up the pieces of what she left behind.

The Briarfolk on the other hand believe in a pantheon of tree spirits and nature gods. Depending on the community they worship anything from fairy circles to a grove of ancient trees. Each community of Briarfolk holds different places sacred, and has different corruptions of names for the same gods. Father Willow in briarfolk society is called Luewch and Mother Brook is called Nulli. There is one place that the Briarfolk find particularly holy, and that is the Trethal Hillock on which the a circle of stone is built. once a year for the autumn equinox the briarfolk gather there for a debauched party/clan meet/religious ceremony. It is said that the Trethal Henge is a powerful focus for druids and a portal between this realm and the fae.
