The Seven Churches of Malta

The Seven Churches

1. Tiamat Babylonian Pantheon/ Nammu Sumerian Pantheon 

Ffahra Ffahra

This temple is led strangely enough by a merchant prince named Ffahra Ffahra (pronounced Fa Ra Fa Ra).  The former desert nomad is in Malta on the direct orders of the Lord High Dragon Tiamat, so far only using the temple as a sort of embassy.  Ffahara has happily served on the Council of Faiths. The only priest at this temple is Kasok,whose faith lies with Utu a sun god in the Sumerian faith.

2. Ra Sun God (Egyptian Pantheon)

High Priest Rudjek

The High Priest Rudjek runs the wealthiest temple in Malta. It is rare to find anyone on the main island that hasn't benefited financially in some way from this influential church.  They provide any child born on the island with the opportunity to learn to read and write...Akkadian or Coptic of course.

3.Green Faith: Greeks believe this is Gaea (the earth), other pantheons their nature deity

Nogamon, a centaur druid is believed to be the oldest individual in Malta.  The centaur considers the main island his grove.  Nogamon maintains The Ring of Judgement, serving not only on the Council of Faiths but also as the arbiter of disagreements between the temples.

4. Uranus (the sky) Greek Pantheon/Jupiter Roman Pantheon

The fastest growing temple with many claiming the faith simply from ignorance of any others. Mediterranean sailors are familiar with gods of each due to the number of ships that bear their chosen deity's name or symbol on their flags. Many priests operate at this temple varying in Greek or Roman flavors. The priest who serves on the Council of Faiths is Aulus Daquaretti a priest of Mercury. Aulus frequently feuds with the rest of the council

5. Ukko  Finnish Pantheon

The smallest temple of the seven, it is currently devoid of a leader due to the recent death of priestess Marjaana.  The priests of the other temple tend to the building and provide worshipers access when requested.

6. Odin Norse Pantheon

The second smallest temple, other faiths believe this religion hails from a mythical cloud continent or perhaps another plane.  Its current high priest was often referred to as the world's tallest elf.  Cian, a minster of Frey, stands some eight feet in height. A local legend claims that "The Tall One" is the only council member to ever attack someone during judgement.

7. The Temple of Otherwhere

The Catchall of faith, this final temple handles any of the various travelers that arrive at the island with faiths falling into an unknown category or even covering an agnostic.  A unique requirement to claiming this faith requires the claimant to enter the temple and either find a relic or shrine to your faith or donate something that a member of your faith would consider a religious token. The Temple of Otherwhere is also unique for its manner of selecting a representative to the Council of Faith.   Every month the names of every person who has claimed the temple as their faith is put into a random drawing.  The name drawn is sought out and either negotiates with the current servitor to continue his or her service on the council, pays someone to serve in their stead, or spends the next month judging new arrivals to Malta. This month's councilor, Zallas, has held the seat for the last several months and appears to be getting quite wealthy from her service.
