Yeah, I wanted religion to play a big role in the goings on of the city but in such a way that at first, a visitor might see a pristine city, full of worshipers of peace and prosperity but look past the thin veneer of righteousness and you see a city corrupted by greed and power. The church secretly hires rouges of all sorts and extremists perform rituals (Many think the purity and grace of Eia can be gained through suffering) of dark natures. That kind of stuff.
