Setting Write Up

Valamere, the Continent you find yourself on. It's ruled by Holy Emperor Crawwell, although the 9 Churches hold almost as much power. Each Church is in worship of one of the 9 Gods, the major and only allowed gods in the empire. Each one is assigned to one of the 9 Philosophical Axis. (Alignments) Each god has varied portfolios that seem to change every hundred to couple hundred years, making their worship flexible. (Any god can have any domain if argued well enough) While worshipers of the lesser gods are not unheard of, if they are caught by The Churches they are liable to end up in The Arena, fighting until they work off their sentence. While the Churches keep order there is a large amount of corruption in their ranks, with a large amount of people feeling displeased about this. This has led to gangs and organizations forming to strike out against the church, such as The Royals in the Capital City of Sanctum. Every few dozen years a group of chosen heroes are sent out on a Pilgrimage to travel to sacred shrines of each god and gain power form worship, although almost all of them end up going missing or showing up dead. Despite all the quirks of the Empire, people from all walks of life find themselves there or in one of the outlying City States such as The Twin Zephyrs.
