Fortune is home to a temple of St. Cuthbert, one of the saints in Ro's church. St. Cuthbert is a strict, no-nonsense kind of demi-god and his followers believe in helping those who help themselves (give a man a fish and such). Father Tibault prefers to let adventurers heal naturally when possible (scars build character) but will use his magic when needed (haste, severity) or for a sufficient donation to the poor box.
On the road south of the city ruins of Trokair lies a shrine to Derrgan. The Wanderer's shrines are untended waystations containing water, rations, spare coins, and trinkets where travelers may take as needed and give as able. They are usually built where those taking a rest may be inspired by the beauty of nature, such as on a clifftop with an amazing view of the sunset or a pristine beach with rolling waves. This particular shrine is unique in that it has a permanent caretaker and it is located at an overgrown bend in the road. The caretaker is Yadri Tippets, a dwarf cleric of Derrgan cursed by his own god with a crippled leg. He tends the shrine as penance for his sins. As a devotee of the Wanderer, he gladly welcomes travelers to share news and stories of the outside world though which he can no longer journey. He can offer his healing arts for the cost of an exciting tale if coin is in short supply.
