Welcome to the Black Cathedral, a haven for those seeking knowledge and enlightenment. There are several major deities worshipped throughout New Elenna. All of these deities are allied in one of two groups: Gods of the Wold and Gods of Testing. The Gods of Wold are older, and most people follow them, especially since they are the kinder and more beneficent of the gods. But every god represents a particular ethos or need, and your average citizen pays respect to whichever god governs the need they feel most deeply -- people look for help wherever they can get it, don't you know.

Of course, everyone has their favorites, but they still find time to honor them all. On the other hand, some people feel a special affinity for one or two gods, and consider them to be patrons. Those who have patron deities are most likely to formally join a temple and participate regularly.

There is one god who belongs to both alliances -- Gargul, who we honor here at The Black Cathedral. Just as we have devoted ourselves to the service of the God of Death and Life, we realize that on occasion people feel drawn to devote their life to the service of a particular god. Therefore we have provided information on the priesthood of each of the deities, in case you feel one of the gods calling you. You can explore details including responsibilities, symbol, details on worship, clerics in society, domains allowed, and detailed histories of the gods.

After the Year of Ascension, each god established sects to advance the issues that most concern them. Those who serve in these sects, making up classes of prestige, are also described herein.

You will also find narrative stories designed to entertain, illustrate, and edify.

We also offer information on the underlying cosmology of the Wold and on the distinctive practices of those who honor Nature, as well as those who honor the Immortal Powers of the Wold who are nonetheless not gods.
