Rinenian Church
Located in what passes as a valley across the massive and flat landscape of Allegri, this compound was originally built by a small group of Rinen's worshippers and has since developed into one of the larger Primis cults in the region. They have a distant but positive relationship to Stretto and they contribute significantly to the stability of the metropolis by supplying crops and vegetables that help feed the population.
Their primary structure, a large abbey built for stone and wood, houses the majority of their members and is secure enough to deter any but the most determined raiders or wild predators. With the Chorus river nearby to the east and a clear road to Etude to their southwest, the abbey is considered to be one of the safest places in the region if you're caught seeking shelter outside the city.
Those living in the abbey spend a large amount of every day tending to the various crops they cultivate. Since the practice itself is what the religion encourages, the surplus is generally donated to the less fortunate living inside the nearby city. Several communities have grown to depend on the late-season visits from the abbey and poor portions of the population would suffer greatly without their generosity.
Divine Origins
The worship of the Primis is common among the Allegran people and Rinen is an attractive idol to follow for farmers who depend on crops or those that live in rural regions. This particular sect established it's own semi-cloistered abbey to allow space for their gardens and crops to thrive outside the massive Stretto city walls that both protect and limit available space.
