Sabrians were primarily practitioners of their native religion of Mos Maiorum which possessed a pantheon of four goddesses which were each closely associated with a season of the year. The religion was divided into two primary cults; the Cult of Transformation and the Cult of Preservation. Although there is not an exact hierarchy in Mos Maiorum, it is generally accepted that the most powerful of the four deities were Veturia and Hostilia, the patrons of spring and winter respectively.
