Church of The Waters

Like other churches of the Ecumenical Communion of Syran the Church of the Waters asserts the supremacy of the Invisible God while acknowledging the existence of other powerful entities with dominion over particular aspects of His creation. Favoured by the city's numerous sailors and boatmen, this church pays tribute to two such entities, whose dominions are arguably of greatest importance to Syran: the river god Doskior and the lake goddess Felstra.

Liturgists use the Holy Water Scriptures alongside the Abiding Book at weekly worship services, and most worshippers are content with the blessings that they receive from these sources. More dedicated members worship Doskior or Felstra more directly, as described in the Lords Temporal common religion and may learn the Common Magic feats described in Other Magic below.

As described in "Sacrificing to Landscape Deities" in Heroquest (p128) these feats can only be used in the vicinity of the deity. Because they are Common Magic, however, the normal disadvantages of Misapplied Worship relating to concentration do not apply.

Truly dedicated worshippers may study at the Felster Naval Academy. Members of this church are also welcomed as students at the Imperial College, and a valiant few join the Order of Saint Paslac.
