Of the Free Cities, the Blue City of Avemroth has earned the nickname City of Temples for its significant temples to all five Dragon gods and to each of the Blessed Gods. The city's Ruling Guild established the Temple Guild in order to keep track of the legally registered priests of each temple within the city. Only one priest from each temple must sit on the Temple Guild, but they are required to keep rolls of all active personnel. Channellers from other cities are strongly encouraged to register with their respective temples in order to receive the full protections of the temple's patronage.

Temples of the Dragon Gods

Of the priests of the Dragon Gods, only the priest of Averae is able to channel her deity's powers.

Averae

A Blue Draeken. The Averae Exclave hosts the only ‘city’ Draekan commune in the Free Cities.

Isin

Uukkarnit Alornerk (ook-kaχ-nit a-loχ-neχk). Short even for a Svaald, Uukkarnit's incredible prowess as an adept made her a natural choice for the high priesthood of Isin. The temple of Isin runs the Blaodun games every five years during the Month of the Soldier.

Tyrath

Ceredasdad Galaglinaryl. Male High Elf Mage/Channeler (Thalu). Leader of the Sons of Tyrath in Avemroth.

Kevalth

Lanlithorn Evergreen. Female Wood Elf Shaman. Sister of the Priests of the Twins.

Sudreth

Hudde Merle. Human Sorcerer.

High Priests of the Blessed Gods

Four temples of the Blessed Gods share combined temple complexes with two of the Dragon Gods. The temples of Kevalth and the Twins, Khitar and Nimway, meet at the Eye of Kevalth in the Abenbury River to form the Kekhinim Temple. The temples of Thalu and Kravnos form a gateway at the base of the Wiccdun (magic mountain), atop which sits the temple of Tyrath. As a natural outcome of these close relationships, the priests at the Kekhinim Temple are wood elf triplets, while the priests at the Wiccdun are high elf siblings.

Alkaizer

High Elf Channeler

Kronos

Aldus (last name pending). Human Channeler-Mage. Concept is reflective of a human obsession with time due to shorter lifespans.

Thalu

Æthuialiel Galaglinaryl (E-thwee-a-leel). Female High Elf Channeler-Mage.

Kravnos

Gondion Galaglinaryl (Gon-jon). Male High Elf Channeler-Mage.

Thysis

Half-Elf Channeler-Adept. Wife of the Patron of the Watch. They control Thysis Square along with some of the most significant organized crime in the city.

Khitar and Nimway

Wood Elf Channeler-Shamans. Siblings of the priest of Kevalth.

Septimus

Firmin (last name pending). Human Channeler-Adept. Related through marriage to the Captain-General of Alkaizer’s Order of the Guard

Su-Lan

Human Channeler possibly also Adept.

Non-Guild

The cults of Irrilandrilla and Kao are recent arrivals to Avemroth. While some notables in the city are aware of (or members of) these cults, their priests have not yet joined the Temple Guild.

Irrilandrilla

The Woman, Ada Honeywine. Female Human Channeler, possibly also Adept. The newest madame of Schadwe Street, she acquired the tallest brothel building via a hostile takeover aided by her converts on 11 Silence 1734. Her brothel, The Pretty Little Sting hosts a hidden shrine in 'the penthouse.' She is the source of drug trafficking in The Angles and Hordern along with the significant spike in assassinations and executions in The Angles. Members of the cult refer to her as 'The Woman.' No one is certain if Ada Honeywine is her real name.

Kao

Victoria (Vic) and Col Leopold. Sister and brother human channeller and adept respectively. The cult of Kao is only just recently resurging in Avemroth. Currently, they do not use the old temple openly for fear of the Septimite guards who oppress Fenn City, but the cult has a growing presence among the gangs in Fenn City as well as the inmates in The Hollows. The 'priests' have been running a moving fight club ('The Prayer Place') in Fenn City's warehouses for six years before the return of Kao.
