Those who follow the Pahn Kahl religion practice a form of nature worship.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=29}} Their pantheon contains five gods, none of which are Returned. The religion focuses on the storms of the [[Bright Sea]], which are seen as a manifestation of their unity of these five gods. One of these gods is the Voice that calls the Returned,{{qa ref|680|25|What do the Pahn Kahl believe in? All we seem to know is that they are similar to the Iridescent Tones. Any more info?|date=2010-01-18}} the [[Shard]] [[Endowment]],{{qa ref|428|59|The only thing I'll confirm (and I don't think I've said this before) is that The Voice is, indeed, one of the Shards of Adonalsium. (Endowment is that Shard's true name, by the way.)|date=2009-07}} although it is unknown how much they understand of Endowment's nature. The religion in other aspects is not all that different from the Iridescent Tones.{{qa ref|680|25|What do the Pahn Kahl believe in?

In their theology, the [[Returned]] are men and women who denied the power of their gods in life and are therefore forbidden entrance into heaven.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=29}} However, they are not seen as sinners worthy of hell, so they Return for a second chance to find the true faith in life. Many of the Pahn Kahl do not mind the Returned, and accept the God King as monarch.{{book ref|wb|15}} They simply see the Returned as misguided. Since they do not see them as divinities, the only thing the Pahn Kahl find extraordinary about the Returned is the strength of their [[BioChroma]]. Due to their near total focus on their desire for revenge, some of the Pahn Kahl understanding of their own religion has been lost.{{qa ref|680|25|What do the Pahn Kahl believe in?

Many outsiders consider the Pahn Kahl religion to be simplistic, especially in contrast with the elaborate doctrine of the [[Iridescent Tones]].{{book ref|wb|14}} In fact, many people in Hallandren and beyond have no understanding of the religion or are not even aware that the Pahn Kahl have their own separate religion at all.{{book ref|wb|15}}{{book ref|wb|14}}{{book ref|wb|29}}
