Some religious entities have come to see the Forsaken as a means to an end and has used them as such.

The society is a mix of all races for the simple fact that they are made up of all races. The hatred for the lich king Tidulus has made them untrusting of any undead that does not have free will and expect vampire's to be betrayers to there cause. It is believed by some that the Raven Queen and Orcus are in a constant struggle over the Forsaken. So it is not uncomen to see the worshiping of the Raven Queen and to fined cults dedicated to Orcus.
