Worship of ancestors is a very common practice in Nur's society. While gods tend to be seen as less involved in the lives of mortals, it is believed the spirits of forefathers live in the household, and protect and give advice to their descendents. Every household has a small altar or shrine dedicated to their worship, a place of prayer and meditation where food offerings, alcohol, flowers and letters are left.
When Nur returned from the war, he asked his forefathers for guidance a lot. During the years spent on the battlefield, he lost his father, his twin brother, and half of his face. He prayed to them so they'd give him the strength to live after losing so much.
His two mothers, Khori (left, Nur's bio mom) and Nireth (right) have always been at his side in these hard times, trying to support him as much as possible. Especially in the months right after his return home, Nur was not coping well with his new life at all, and his moms were worried sick.

Worst part of his life. Fortunately, we know he recovers; it's going to be a rough road.
In my fictional world, The Maker of All Things is unknown and unknowable. It is a watchmaker deity, disinterested and detached from the universe it created.
Day to day decisions are discussed with one's ancestors. My 60-year old main character says he's expecting 'a visit from his ancestors', which should normally mean a spiritual event. Instead, his mother drives in with his father and all four grandparents, now in their early 100s.
