Churches of Crince

In the city of Crince, religion plays a big part of the day to day life for most of it's inhabitants. While there are almost always more than one church for each god in the city, this list tends to focus on the main churches for each god and where they are in the city.

The Bulwark of Faith
The Bulwark of Faith, or as it commonly goes the Bulwark of Bahamut, or just the Bulwark, is the main temple for the Clergy of Bahamut. Located in the Rainbow Ward The entire building is built in the shape of a large kite shield. with the center being where the chapel is. Halls and sleeping cells for the monks and priest dot the walls, with training rooms built near the outer walls to provide quick access to the outside in case the need to protect the church arises. The main chapel has a large kite shield inlaid in the wall with a platinum dragon head on it.

The head priest is a large elderly white dragonborn female named Zakesh. She is kindly and welcoming but you can sense a deep steel inside her. Not one to bend or break easily.

The Halls of Knowledge
￼The Halls of Knowledge, or the Halls of Ioun, or more commonly known, the Halls. Located in the Shining ward While it is a church and is open to the public, the public only has access to the chapel and some quiet reading nooks. The main value of this temple is it's deep knowledge, books and manuscripts, items of great power, artifacts of other ages, and great works of art reside here, locked away except to those granted permission by the king or the priests of Ioun.￼

The temple also takes in all new books and works of knowledge and has a contingent of Kenku on staff to copy over the work and distribute them to their other branches, the local libraries.

The leader of the Church is knowledge keeper Dan Dieffenderfer a Elf of immense age. He is soft spoken and nearsighted. You can often find him with his head buried in a book.

The Ring of Kord
The Ring of Kord, or just the Ring, is located in the Shining ward. It looks like less what most people would think of as a church and from the outside looks like a squat building with a fist grabbing a lightning bolt above the door. The top floor is just a small Room with two shrines on either side, and a staircase leading down.

Down in the lower floors, there is a wide open room with a sandpit in the center, and doors and tunnels leading to other rooms, mostly filled with training arenas, sparring rooms and small rooms for the clerics and monks of Kord.

The Ring offers training in self defense to anyone who asks of it, they tend to specialize in hand to hand combat, but they also are proficient in all forms of combat, and have master trainers for every combat style and art. Most of the army follows Kord.
