We could have multiple gods! Some of them could be real, some not? What we have in my friend and I's /book/ world is a guardian angel, and that being the central religion, but with others scattered about, breaking the law of the highly important church officials?

Or maybe it's more like the nords? Lots of gods, lots of temples, some more favored than others, tributes paid to certain ones before/after certain events?

YEAH. So maybe they weren't dirt-poor millers or farmers who literally couldn't have anything taken from them or they'd be homeless, but maybe they could be smiths? A family of castle servants (which could open to advising)? Knights and/or minor lords who fought for others, even if they hated them (in the name of honor)? They could've been mead-makers or tavern owners? Those ones would probably be fun xD
