Allworthy

Patron God of Damkina

Allworthy is the Lawful Good Patron God of Damkina. He is worshipped by maybe 60% of the populace there but his worship is almost unknown outside of that city. The Patriarch of the temple is always an official advisor to the White Overlord (interestingly the current Patriarch appears to be out-ranked in his own temple by a High Priestess but he still gets to be the advisor presumably by some pedantry).

Allworthy doctrine appears to be an amalgam of dubious compromise. He is said to embody the virtue of all other gods and goddesses which is supposed to justify the claim of his priests that all may worship in his temple. In practice this just means that you may think of your god or goddess's name instead of Alworthy's as you go through the temple ritual. Unless your god or goddess is like Allworthy in character, however, this rather renders the ritual meaningless and despite claims to the 'virtue of all other gods' he does have a particular character of somewhat smug goodness. As you can tell we didn't particularly take to Allworthy (although we did to Glor'Diadel) and are having trouble maintaining our scholarly impartiality. On the bright side his clerics do good works and there is no sign of human sacrifice in his temples.

I guess the main problem is that is debatable whether Allworthy actually exists since we suspect (and will probably verify by our research eventually) that he was a kind of compromise candidate for the role of Damkina patron god when the province seceded from the Empire of Kelnore.

P.S. We didn't particularly like the current Patriarch either.
