Church of Denari
There are more than 200 individual churches to Denari in the city, from humble neighborhood shrines in the poorest districts to the cathedral Haven in Temple Market, and each is supported by a neighborhood or community. Denari holds sway in Eversink, and foreign religions and cults are tolerated only if they pay near-crippling taxes. There are branches of the religion with slightly different dogma, although congregations who stray too far from official orthodoxy are quickly identified and labeled as heretical cults if they can’t be quietly re-educated.
The church and the Goddess are part of everyday life in Eversink. You can’t paddle down a canal without seeing and hearing constant reminders of Her power around you. There’s no separation of church and state here, and anyone who agitated for it might well be exiled as a heretic. The citizens generally support this: the church teaches that true civilization and culture springs from the Goddess, so the government helps ensure that Eversink has the best music, the best festivals, and the greatest success in trade.
