Zothay
Religions
The most common religions practiced in Zothay are the faiths of
Mitra,
Nephtlys, and Athena, which also
has a monastery on the southeast peninsula. The Gismesh have a temple to
Selanii, their goddess of the sea in their quarter.
It is also rumoured that other more evil gods are worshipped secretly within the city
including
Set,
Shakkur, and
(reputedly) an orgiastic mystery cult of
Tama Hama. The worship of Set is outlawed in the city
on pain of death as the cult was implicated in the death of the last Tyrant, Zennon.
The most mysterious group is the Prophets of the Wastes,
who have their own square and a tall, eons old tower in the Beggars Quarter. These ascetics
want to be left alone and do not permit others near their holy ground. It is considered
unwise to approach them or interfere with them in any way as they normally resent the intrusion.
They reputedly have strange powers and a resistance to magic.
