Temple District
Freeport may be a den of sin, wickedness, and immorality, but these very qualities enable religion to thrive here. Freeporters turn to The Seven for protection, both from external forces and from each other. Religion here is pragmatic; it’s about appeasing powerful entities and avoiding the worst of the hardships in this City of Adventure. So while Freeporters might not be ardent followers, they are nonetheless regular in their observances to the gods who watch over their lives.
The Temple District stands to the northwest of the Old City, between the upscale Merchant District and the rundown Drac’s End. The mighty temples handily conceal both the squalor of the poorer district and the naked decadence of the richer, minimizing disgust and envy from each respectively. Ringing the temples is a wide avenue known as Pious Walk. Statues of holy men and women decorate the street, often right in the middle of the road; these statues include all sorts of figures, from kneeling women to dashing swashbucklers, lusty pirates, and robed priests wearing somber expressions. Most of the statues, but not all, bear plaques to indicate the name or deed they commemorate.
