If it has a large dominating church, then there might only be one. If everybody is divided equally, I'd say it could handle up to five temples with a preist, family and a couple of helpers/alcolytes each. If it was a secular society where tything is not mandatory, perhaps much less.Were it my campaign world, there would be one main church with the head priests being husband and wife. One being the priest of the father figure head of the pantheon and the other being the priest of the wife type figure who looks over crops. There is mandatory tything of 10% to the churches as demanded by the local lord and in return the clerics give free healing and such to their congregation and aid the lord in maintaining his domain.  They would probably have a few alcolytes under them of the same faith and as the lord may need or traditionally maintain, there might be a few other smaller churches with preists of the other gods. Other shrines would be in the main church for gods of the pnatheon in good standing who are nor otherwise represented. Being a trade city, there would most likely be some clerics of the various non-human religions such as dwarven or elvish gods. Unless they did regular trade with such races, those preists would also either get a cut of the tythes for aiding the lord or have other means of making money (eg a dwarven cleric as one of the towns weapon and armor smiths).</blockquote>
