Chapter Three: Saragost (religion)

As Saragost is a rather large city (25,000 people or so), there are quite a few prominent and not so prominent temples and such in town.

Aranu, the Sun God, is the most widely worshipped deity in Saragost. There is a great temple to Aranu near the Tower of Undying Light and several minor temples and shrines throughout the city. The people of Saragost hold the law in high regard, and as such revere Aranu as the law-giver of the gods.

Hombel, the Justicar, and Yosa, the Crafter, hold places of high honor in Saragost as well. Each has a major temple near the city center and their followers number in the thousands. They also have several minor shrines and temples in Saragost.

Blediwesse, Firinna, and Merrithrawn each have a significant following in Saragost, and there are one or more shrines and temples to each in the city. Merrithrawn in particular is notable as the bards of The Hall of Echoes have a major shrine to this god of bards.

All of the non-evil deities of the Avillon (non-elf) pantheon have at least one shrine or temple in town. The nature gods have a very limited following in the city with the exception of Hernun whose clerics and druids maintain his grove near the center of town.

The small elven population of Saragost maintains a single temple near the Tower of Undying Light that is dedicated to all of the non-evil deities of the Callistan pantheon.

It is likely that there are hidden shrines to various evil deities in the city, but this is not public knowledge and not something that they advertise.
