The Gods of Draconspire
The Gods of Draconspire are worshiped in a single temple called the House of Five, these temples can be found in most major cities. A man may come to the temple and make an offering to Glitanius in order to watch over his wife while she gives birth, only to find out the child is not his but in fact his best friends. The same man may return to the temple and beg Ravis to kill his friend. People of Draconspire tend not to worship one god, but all of them based on needs or thanks. A cleric of Rafar may find it hard to deal with a cleric of Radiance in the same building, however the bond of the divine keeps them from violence. The Bond of the Divine ensures that if one infused with divine power should strike at another divine servant while in the walls of the House, they will be striped of divine power forever, needless to say outbreaks are very rare. Scuffs are usually taken " outside ".
