Religion

Religion is not a particularly prominent part of daily life in Breachill; its residents are more focused on community and communal survival. However, there are pockets of faithful here.

One of the most prominent religions is that of Cayden Cailean, the Accidental God of freedom, ale, wine, and bravery, and more than a few taverns regularly engage in traditional rounds of rousing hymns while hoisting flagons to the Adventuring God. Another popular religion is that of Desna, the Song of Spheres and the goddess of dreams, luck, stars, and travelers. Shelyn, goddess of art, beauty, love, and music, is also popular among the town’s artisans and tradespeople; in fact, the town’s
artisans’ guild doubles as a temple to the Eternal Rose.

Far less common but still worth mentioning is the Church of Asmodeus—while there is no Asmodean temple in Breachill, the faith rose in prominence several generations ago with the arrival of the Hellknights at Citadel Altaerein. Worshippers of the Dark Prince aren’t always trusted around town, but they’re accepted, partially because Breachill Asmodeans don’t tend to practice much in public and partially because the town has never experienced problems with violent diabolism, unlike other towns in Isger.

Among the scions of the town’s oldest families, the closest thing to a widespread religion might beveneration of Lamond Breachton. However, a schism is slowly forming between the more tradition-minded residents and newer citizens, who sometimes question how the town’s amnesiacs arrived in the region at all and why Breachton just happened to come upon them at just the right time.

In general, Breachill residents are welcoming to worshippers of any good and neutral-aligned god. In fact, given the number of adventurers who pass through, there is a general laissez-faire attitude toward faiths of almost all stripes. Many residents don’t even mind adventurers who openly worship evil gods, so long as those adventurers don’t do anything to disturb the public peace. The town guard is known to casually shadow such adventurers, however, just to make sure they don’t cause trouble in public areas.
