I think I owe you few insights into Kuriotates to prevent future misunderstanding.
The Octopus Overlords
The Octopus Overlords (or just Overlords) became integral part of Kuriotate society and managed to coexist with other religion peacefully. While the first contacts, preaching and conversions stirred up a great opposition toward them and due to their criminal activities - like human drowning, slavery, forced usage of drugs and many other violent crimes - the were persecuted, after some time they managed to blend into normal life. No one knows why they did it, if the violent sects were wiped out, their erratic masters decided to be nice and helpful in this aeon or decided for more subtle approach or they were transformed by the peaceful nature of Kuriotates. But truth is that until the arrival of Elohim monks, it were priests of Overlords who run efforts to help the most unfortunate of Kuriotate people. What started as a asylum in Kwythelhelar turned into orphanages and eating halls for the poor. Other religions run this social institutions too but it was only for the followers of their religion the Overlord cultist couldn't care less. For them everyone was equal from starving leper on the streets of Avelron through Grigori merchant or drunken centaur veteran to Cardith Lorda himself. One deserved special attention only if the Overlords prepared special destiny for him. People doubt their intentions claiming that the priest are handling bread to the poor children without any feeling of pity or compassion but as long they provided these services they were welcomed in Kuriotate lands. Pantheon of Octopus Overlords was important part of rural worship together with the Cult of the Snake but they lost much of their influence after the rise of the Order who shunned them due to their chaotic nature and blame them for being a magnet for violent lunatics. While it was true that Overlords attracted a broad spectrum of crazy maniac - As the Undertow testified- no one could prove any connection between them and these cults. But this brought them a broader public support they needed after the Order stripped them of their importance on countryside except fishing areas. The poor of Kuriotates cities were supporting them even if they were not following them and their dream tellers gained them support between artist, boheme and rising class of merchant aristocracy. And between immigrant Balseraph comunity. The Clowns while they were not followers of Overlords themselves found their presence emulate a familiar feeling of home, so little experienced between down-to-earth Kuriotates.
