From the Dark Markets supplement, I gather that there are no true/full-scale temple of Sarenrae in Katapesh, but just a gathering of small shrines here and there.
Did I read this correctly or did I miss something from this book?
The party I DM was trying to find a high-level cleric of Sarenrae to deal with the Falcon Emir of Ipeq's curse. I DM-ruled that although there are no full-blown temple, that there are a LOT of shrines to Sarenrae (especially personal/residential home shrines, akin to those often built in real-life in the houses of people practicing hinduism or buddism - apologies for bad spelling) and that some of these larger shrines could be built like small abbeys or monasteries, which could offer housing to a small number of priests/servants, and run by a higher-ranking priest.
I also made up that some of these shrines are run by high-level priests: either retired older priests of extremely high levels, or younger high-level priests attracted to Katapesh despite its "Temple-less" status so as to maintain or try to grow the market share of priestly services provided to the very rich, on behalf of the faith of Sarenrae (think of these priests as specialists in PR or fundraising)
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
