St. Elb’s Cathedral
One of the few attractions that actually draws visitors to Ems is the massive cathedral found here. Dedicated to Stryme the Mighty, God of Strength, who is also known as Strym to the dwarves, the white marble structure has an iron roof and towers that remain free of rust or tarnish. Services at the cathedral are attended principally by human soldiers and laborers, but all are welcome. The priests here encourage hard physical labor and dedication to one’s physical form, so the military leaders are happy to encourage their soldiers to worship Stryme.
The cathedral is considered a city unto itself, and it and the immediate surrounding grounds are subject to ecclesiastical law, ruled by His Grace Archdeacon Roeder Steelgrace, Loyal Servant of Stryme, in the name of the overking. The military and the church have historically had good relations in Roy, as it was originally members of the church that drew attention to the corruption and decadence of the Geoth family and other nobility that lead to military rule over the County of Roy. Archdeacon Steelgrace and Lord-Commander Lorgrant continue that tradition, and in fact get along well. Both leaders are loyal to the crown and do their best to manage their areas together for the betterment of the kingdom.
