Church of Agares[]
The followers of Agares aren't always openly accepted enough to build churches around others. In their homeland, however, Churches dedicated to the God of Fearless Understanding are very abundant. Agares' worshipers are a strange sort, unlike worshipers to most other gods, they do not necessarily have anything in common, and many hate other worshipers for going "too far" with their taboo-seeking behavior. As such, there ends up being several churches in one area, where normally only one would suffice. This often causes small-scale civil wars to break out because of disagreements. Sadly, this ends up being yet another reason why most people distrust the Church of Agares.
