None of the temples are wealthy, and all live in simple, rugged temples of mostly wood and some stone. The temples are dedicated to working together at all times to improve their little community in every way, and are zealously committed to protecting the town from any threat, as well as making a very real and constant difference in the people's lives.The small town is grateful, and even on the rough frontier, they manage to enjoy life much more because of everything that the small group of temples provide for them. In turn, the townspeople and locals from around the region hold the priests and priestesses in great respect, and donate money, goods, animals, and other products to their temples with devoted enthusiasm and piety. The town is small, isolated, and impoverished by the standards of the broader world--however, they are joyful, devout, united and remain ruggedly prosperous and hard working, gradually improving their lives and their whole community, season by season, and year by year. The righteous temples of their patron gods faithfully help them all to make this happen, and to make their little town a worthwhile and content place to live, work, and prosper.Semper Fidelis,SHARKPatron God: WHITE CHOCOLATE RHINOPatron God: PEANUT BUTTER WOLFPatron God: VANILLA CREAM TIGERPatron Goddess: ROMANTIC BANANAPatron Goddess: RIGHTEOUS ORANGEPatron Goddess: HAPPY PEACHWHITE CHOCOLATE RHINOGod of War, Valor and StrengthAlignment: Lawful GoodPortfolio: War, Valor, Strength, and ChivalryDomains: War, Valor, Strength, and GloryThe noble clerics of the temple of White Chocolate Rhino are always training in warfare and martial skills, in between their diligent academic studies and routine discipline of conducting sessions of devout prayer.
