## Key Considerations

- **Multiple faiths**: Worlds often have competing religions
- **Lost religions**: Ancient faiths may have faded — extract remnants
- **Heretical practices**: Cults vs mainstream religion
- **Cross-references**: If needed, track relationships separately in drafts, but final JSON must match `LoreData.from_dict`.
