Religion in ancient Vallos was diverse, with the Solanians revering a trinity of goddesses (Kore, Zeiama and Trina) along with a plethora of minor gods and goddesses; the Zychy worshipping the sacred wells that dot Vallos and the cthonic gods stated to inhabit them; and the Proto-Loa worshipping a ancestral mother goddess said to possess the living queens. In the end however, all these indigenous faiths have been supplanted by either the Catholic Church or absorbed by the [[Kapuhenasa]].

The Solanians worshipped three principle deities; Zeiama, a fertility goddess who was said to have sway over the wet and dry seasons as well as the ocean, Trina, a messenger and liminal goddess who was said to guide people towards prosperity and safety and away from harm and ruin, and Kore, the goddess of the underworld and the dead. All of these goddesses had many numerous attendants, but ultimately every Solanian city had at least one temple devoted to each goddess, with certain cities adopting a goddess as the patron deity of said city. The city of Solan in particular revered Zeiama as their patron goddess.

There were also many annual festivals dedicated to the goddesses, with the New Years festival, the Guerontous festival dedicated to the ending of the Vallosian dry season, the Vansimarin festival dedicated to the dead and Kora, and the Festival of Lights, which was devoted to Trina.
