Three Pleasures Church

The Three Pleasures Church, commonly known as Pleasurism, was founded and is the main religous practice in the nation of Rodinnbrok. 
== History ==
In a time of great peace after the founding of Roðinnbrók brought on by Kavon the Uniter, his son, King Eirró the duplicitous, founded The Church of The Three Pleasures as a service for the now wealthy citizens of the kingdom. Pleasurism is a religion which was created within the bowels of Jorm, The World Eating Worm. In ancient times, Jorm, in its tireless journey to consume the world (albeit very slowly) accidentally consumed a small town. Because Jorm moves so slowly the town and all its buildings were spared. Surprisingly, the ancient town survived, and grew to flourish in the mouth of Jorm - this is historically attributed to the unique chemical structure of its saliva, which stimulates growth of plants and is alleged to greatly increase libido. The townspeople decided to remain in the town, despite the dangerous environment. Jorm eventually submerged into the earth and the culture of the town flourished undisturbed for centuries. During the reign of Eirro, Jorm re-emerged from the depths with the now-ancient town, renamed to Jormund by its inhabitants. The culture of the men who lived in Jorm was intensely hedonistic, placing great value in earthly pleasures. When Eirro discovered the people of Jormund, they showed great hospitality. Looking for a way to cement his legacy (and an excuse to set up brothels and bars around Rodinnbrok), Eirro decided to spread Jormund’s religion, Pleasurism, worshipping the pleasures and the spiritual worship of Jorm, around his nation.
== Organization ==
The Archpriest of Pleasure is the respected head priest that serves at the Cathedral of Pleasure. Generally regarded as the authority on Pleasurism. Any of the individual priests who preach Pleasurism in their respective houses of pleasure within or outside of Rodinnbrok. Apostles of Pleasure work in the church administrating the church's practices. Generally considered the lifeblood of Pleasurism they defer to the local priest.
== Deities ==
Technically there is no deity per se but the Pleasurists worship Jorm, the world eating worm, out of respect for the life and wealth he has brought them. Jorm's origins are unknown so he may or may not be a deity, but he is said to by the party god, Fankt Chwonki, to be an old friend . The Pleasurists also believe that the key to a holy life is to be able to indulge in the holiest of earthly experiences. Members of Pleasurism are not expected to attend the churches called “Houses of Pleasure", but members of the religion tend to frequent the houses multiple times a week.
