Cult of Gerda
The Cult of Gerda is the smallest commonly known religion. It's members generally call themselves the "Descendants of Gerda". Gerda is the goddess of gambling, so it's fairly straight forward what the cult is about. The cult leaders run some of the largest gambling facilities in the world, and those foolish enough to join their ranks often lose their entire fortune and then can never leave as they work off their debts. A scummy practise heavily looked down upon, but they are smart enough to operate in areas where the rules are loose and to stay within the few rules that are set up for them. Though there is rumour that they funded the army of the current king when he made his claim to the throne, and the king he replaced had promised to put further restrictions on the gambling issues. However, since the new king succeeded in his claim, it is unlikely anything will come of it, even if the rumours are true.
This religion is is uncommon.
