Alvara is a polytheistic world;
Each region has its own deities, and some villages even have their own gods! However, there is a hierarchy within this pantheon;
Alvara recognizes two major gods: Septra and Ostra. These two deities are shared throughout Alvara. Septra and Ostra are twin brothers and sisters. Septra, is the goddess of evil, chaos, disorder and destruction. One might think that this divinity is unloved, but on the contrary, she is the obligatory counterpart of Ostra, God of bliss, success, peace and order. Their most classic representation is of a winged Septra kneeling and a standing Ostra giving a speech.

Under these two deities, a multitude of gods coexist, some with different roles depending on the region! In Occilargia, where the game takes place, there are a number of important gods:
- O, deity of luck, providence and suddenness.
- Twace, divinity of chance, good or bad, of destiny.
- Phye, divinity of destiny and fate.
