Damkina

Religion

In theory the laws of Damkina protect the right to worship any god or goddess (even devils and demons). In practice the culture of Damkina is heavily tilted in favour of those of lawful good alignment. Besides the Closed Temple there are only two temples in Damkina; one of these is dedicated to the God Glor'Diadel and the other to the Allworthy. Anyone wishing to build another temple in Damkina has traditionally been met with the argument that there is no need as you can worship any god in the temple of Allworthy which is the official state religion.

It must be said that although to us the worship of Allworthy is full of intellectual contradictions and compromises the general population seemed satisfied with the doctrine and perhaps 60% of the population worship him with another 20% worshipping Glor'Diadel (alhtough he is favoured by a much higher proportion than this amongst the nobles and craftsmen). The remaining 20%, which worships a collection of other gods, tend to perform their religious rituals in private.

It is an open secret (although offically denied) that despite the precautions that the Overlord has taken there is a small cult dedicated to Arthranax in the city. The only debate is whether the cult has found a way round the wards and is actually using the Closed Temple itself.
