with people coming from all different dimensions, they are gonna bring there gods with them. and I think entering the world thru the pit is a traumatic experience leaving some shacking and searching for answers. here are a few ideas for some of the temples and religions on temple street.
God: Sol Invictus
Background: brought in from another world Sol Invictus is sun god as well as a warrior god. His followers believe that at the dawn of the world Sol Invictus and the moon god waged a war against each other. the sun routed the moon and has been chasing him ever since.
Doctrines: Sol Invictus and his followers place emphasis on martial prowess and righteousness.
Worshipers: mostly martial fighters. but you will find those who hunt monsters and those who seek justice among the ranks.
God: The Maw
Background: a religion that was actually started in otherworld. Its worshipers believe that otherworld lays in the stomach of a great god and the other side of the pit is its mouth.
Doctrines: The maw is a destroyer god. It is believed to be consuming entire worlds and its all ends up here. It is worshiped as a god of destruction and also a god of fortune. This is one of the few gods of destruction allowed a temple in the city as unlike the others worshipers of the maw are rarely destructive.
Worshipers: one of the most diverse groups or worshipers it includes everything from slaves to nobility. most of the worshipers however are either distraught and nearly insane with their trip thru the pit. Or they are those who wish to make their fortunes from the bounty of the pit.
as for the temples them selves was figuring maybe being able to actually go to the temples and pay a small fee to receive that temples blessing. might also be able to become a worshiper of a god to open up special classes, quests, items, and specials. but to be a worshiper you also have to follow the tenants and restrictions of that temple. such as a worshiper of Sol Invictus losing and not being able to reenter a magic type class or not being able to do any jobs during the night shift.
If you guys have any ideas about other religions or gods post them up. just try and stay away from real world gods/religions for PR sake.
