Church of the Sovereign
The veneration of The Sovereign as a deity is recognized as the official regional religion within Maret, Laguerre, and Kota. The church maintains a majority presence within the other families as well, though it is not recognized officially as a political entity.
Temples dedicated to the Sovereign are grand buildings built like semi-circular, indoor amphitheaters. Even temples built in relatively small villages and towns tend to dominate the architecture of the settlement.
Devotees of the Sovereign attend twice weekly ceremonies at the temple where songs are sung, and rituals of cleansing are performed. Occasionally, theatrical performances depicting the life and great works of the Sovereign are put on as well. These always draw crowds and tend to be incredibly extravagant, often including live animals and dazzling magic and action.
The most important day to devotees of the Sovereign happens five days after the summer solstice, on the day which it is believed that the Sovereign sealed himselfÂ
