File:Genealogy of the Dragonborn Gods.jpg

Genealogy of the Dragonborn gods.

Dragonborn religion is an elaborate form of ancestor worship or animism.  It's the rejection of the Dragonborn's one true god for idols and other gods that they decided to follow after.  In this case, their ancestors.  This is not the shamanism that the orcs follow, no far from it.  Like Zeus religion, which is another form of ancestor worship, the religion that the Dragonborn brought with them is a religion of ancestor worship.

With the appearance of the Argent Prophet as an attempt to steer the Dragonborn back to their one true god, most of the dragonborn stubbornly hold to their false traditions and their ancestor worship.  The Argent Prophet's message was largely rejected and accepted by only a few.  The Argent Prophet led his group away from the Dragonborn, only to form a new colony in a remote part of the world (The Blessed Isles).
