The Three Ladies | Religion

The Three Ladies

This is by far and above the most popular religion in the realm. Though priests and the devout may believe they are 3 different entities, they are realistically worshiping the same goddess in 3 different ways. In many churches they are often worshiped togetheras the Three Ladies, an effort on the part of the religious organizations to build stronger communities in villages across the realm. The symbol is often a triangular column, sometimes carved with the likeness of three women, one on each side.

Eiyincynth; Goddess of agriculture, growth, fertility, the seasons and rebirth
