The 'Shrine of Time' 

This is a religion most common in Norwall Domain, though it is practised 
elsewhere.  It is more common among the Landbound.

There are no priests (the head of the household assumes this role),
although the members may often have a small shrine in a small room at
their house.  Although not many are very devout, it is common to have
small services at the shrines on holidays, or even to use the gods' names
as mild oaths.  (As an aside -- Shard of Marrid's Dragon Chaldecony's
nickname Chal is a reference both to the protector-god Cha, and a teasing
reference to the childish mischief-god Kal).  Neire of Norwall is fairly
devout in this belief, and even D'gerrit and Shard have a grudging respect
for the power of these deities in their lives.
