Umloj Covenant (building)

Next: Umloj Covenant

The Umloj Covenant was formed in 633 after a brutal rebellion by local Hulawites and Ritualists against the local Wardenite administration. Umloj had become, through strange twists of fate, host to a community of two dozen different religious sects and over thirty cults, and the rebellion was quickly joined by many of them in protest to what was seen as repressive attempts at conversion by the authorities.

Peace was signed soon after, and Umloj declared a free city for all religions (as long as they paid proper tax, of course). Since then, the 'Umloj Covenant' has become one of the most diverse areas in the world, boasting a number of temples, chapels, and cathedrals that threatens to surpass the number of houses in the city. Religions as common as Wardenism to as obscure as the Graveright of Ojyczaynza can be found here in relative peace, and the mass diversity has proven to be a great boon to trade.
