The Selchi are a monotheistic society, who worship an unclear and nebulous deity they refer to as "Our Lady". She is described as good, caring, and responsible for all creation, and usually portrayed as a woman with dark hair and eyes (uncommon for a Selchi) dressed in white. It is said that she gathers the souls of the virtuous dead to her, while those who have not attained virtue are reincarnated to try again. She is credited with creating the world by making the land rise from the sea, and many geographic features are said to be her special handiwork. Whether or not she exists is unclear.

There are "nuns" as well, women of the Families who have devoted themselves to The Lady. The primary difference between them and priests is that they are not allowed to preside over rituals, and they are far less numerous.
