Religious Stories • Monthly
Named for an old Waterdeep institution—The Plinth, a grand temple-tower that maintained worship spaces for all faiths, particularly those that did not have temples in the city—the Plinth has absorbed almost all other religious broadsheet operations over the sixty-or-so years it has been in operation.
The Plinth publishes stories of all sorts relating to religion, theology, and the goings-on in temples and monasteries, with stories ranging from conversational interviews with important clergy to no-nonsense recounting of festival successes and tragedies to gossipy stories so salacious and near-blasphemous that the broadsheet has been warned by the law on more than one occasion. All of this is usually focused on Waterdeep and nearby locales, although important religious happenings further afield may warrant a mention occasionally.
Many of the names
of old religious broadsheets have ended up as "features" in the Plinth:
"Thy Daily Luck" is a Tymoran-written bit about investments and
gambling, and "The Eternal Dawn," where the Spires of Morning's clerks announce the new babies, marriages, ventures,
organizations, plans, and other sundry beginning-things recently
consecrated at the temple to Lathander.
