The Powers that Be

The Powers that Be is both the predominant religion in the Southern Quarter and the name given to the gods of that same religion.

The religion itself has two facets: The High Powers, and the Low. Both facets refer to the gods as the "Powers that Be", leading some to confusion.

The High Powers

The High Powers are worshiped by parishioners of the Holy Court and are angry, vengeful spirits. The Holy Court claims that only the Elders of the court can truly understand the Powers and that parishioners much attend mass on Holy Days to be saved.

The Low Powers

The Low Powers are nameless spirits that represent all aspects of life. They are generally called upon to help and heal, as well as hex and harm. These powers must not be abused. The Small Servants are the teachers and purveyors of the faith and preach that all people can feel and understand as well as call upon the powers to help.
