Dogma:Faelien stands for personal freedoms and the liberation of slavery. She is so against slavery, that outside of the city restriction, and even that is not a limitation sometimes, a servant does not stand for slavery and will ultimately try to liberate them from there binds. This does not compel servants of Faelien to become desperate so far as to attack a pc of higher level to free that pc's slave, especially when knowing you will fail.
Temples: Her temples are often very basic made from stone or wood, occasional weapons and broken chains line the walls.
Worshippers: Faelien's worshippers are normally agents of freedom seeking liberation and the freedom of choice. Paladin of freedom are common as well as cleric specializing in keeping allies from being manipulated. (Remove fear, protection from evil, ect.)
Special:Faelien is absolutely against her own worshipers and servants gaining slaves. Willingly accepting, capturing, or buying a slave(knowingly) without the intent to free them within 24 hours will cause the loss of divine spells, divine given class features, as well as use of items containing divine power until an atonement spell has been cast AS WELL as righting your need for an atonement. (If applicable, examples where it may not be possible would be if the slave would die after being purchased/owned by follower of Faelien.)

Title(s): The Inventor
Alignment: True Neutral
Symbol: A bronze cog
Portfolio: Creation, Crafting, Invention
Domains: Craft, Creation, Metal
Favored Weapon: Pistol
Invora is the oldest daughter of Sommus, and perhaps the closest to her father. She is always busy in her forges and laboratories inventing new items, or crafting great magical weapons and armor. Sommus is always quick to say how proud of Invora he is, and this has led to a growing jealousy from her sister Desdemona. Desdemona is so angry at the affection her father has for the inventor that she has created destruction. Hoping to rid the world of everything that her sister creates. Invora thinks this immature and takes no part in the arguments or petty fights that her sister tries to start, and thinks that it is just a phase that her younger sibling will grow out of it.
Dogma: Invora teaches that to invent something new is to breathe life into a child that will never die. The inventor also teaches that when you craft, your creations take a small piece of you and adds a spark of life to the object. People who craft or invent are said to be the closest to Invora and are among the first to receive her blessings. Finally Invora teaches that her followers should not hate or despise agents of her sister, instead they should show pity, for they will never know the joys of creation, only the sadness of destruction.
Temples: Invora's temples are perhaps the least luxurious of them all. A simple building made from stone. Many windows cover the walls, to let in sunlight and release any fumes from creations or chemicals. There is no art that hangs on the walls, and even the pews are made from stone, only having cushioning during times of prayer. Invora's temples are public, and function as smithies with many area's for other sort of crafts. An inventor looking for others to help with finishing touches often find someone willing in these temples. There is a small sleeping area for guests of the temples, who are too involved in a project and wish to stay close to it as they sleep. The food inside the temple is good, and filling.
Worshipers: Invora's worshipers tend to always be busy. Either with crafting or working on projects. Surprisingly very few of her worshipers are priests. Instead during the days of sermons they take turns to give word of the latest inventions or blessings that Invora has gifted upon her faithful. Invora's faithful keep to themselves, and often turn away any who are not crafters, claiming that space is limited within their temple.

Portfolio: Destruction, Hatred, Chaos
Domains: Destruction, Hatred, Chaos
Favored Weapon: A War-hammer
Desdemona is the second born daughter of Sommnus, and a younger sister to her rival Invora. Desdemona works to destroy everything that the inventor creates, she is jealous and angry at the amount of affection that her father gives to her older sister, and she does everything in her power to try and shame her sister. She is locked in a one sided war with Invora, however, her other sister Aoife finds her pathetic and insufferable, and this has caused many small fights (Mostly challenges issued by Desdemona), with which Desdemona fails.
Dogma: Desdemona teaches that creation will one day bring a second cataclysmic event to the world, that it will destroy life, and bring an end to everything. She teaches that destruction will bring peace and safety. Desdemona has a sick fondness for her followers and they know she is with them when something gets destroyed without an explanation.
Temples: Surprisingly temples of Desdemona are beautiful luxurious buildings filled with beautiful art, expensive silks and other priceless items. An alter of glass sits at the front of the temple and from this sermons are given. Most speculate that the reason for all the priceless items is because they are fragile, and the destroyer's faithful are always looking for a sign from their goddess. The temples are not open to the public, and indeed those who come and disturb it's faithfuls sometimes don't live to walk away. There is a small kitchen, and a small area for priests to sleep.
Worshipers: Desdemona worshipers are usually very hateful people. Using the hatred that their goddess has for her sister as a sign that their anger is justified. They are very destructive both mentally and physically. Her faithful do not begin a prayer without first destroying something in her name, some actually buy small glass bars just for this. They are often times kicked out of inns and taverns for destroying property.
Special: Desdemona's Cleric's do not gain spontaneous healing/inflict spells. Instead clerics of this deity gain one additional level one spell and level two spell in addition to the normal spells per day.

Temples: Aoife's temples are built as forts. When the doors are closed, the building is almost impenetrable, a bar always sits by the outside doors just in case. Heavy shutters sit ready to be throw over the inside of the windows. A storage of food, enough to serve twenty people twice a day is always in stock. Aoife's temples always have an arena built close buy, or even on the grounds. Usually a high priest of Aoife helps make and enforce the laws of the Eden.
Worshipers: Aoife's worshipers are not overly cruel, however they will stop and arrest a citizen for breaking a law or committing a crime no matter how small. During times of execution a member of their temple is usually the one to perform, either pushing them off the side of the city, or beheading them.
