It depends on your definition of direct worship. There won't be issaries
cult temples for example and the issaries cult writeup would not be
appropriate, as seemed to be sugested. Henotheist reverence of Issaries
as a saint doesn't count as direct worship in my books, and I doubt it's
as widespread as you suggest.

The Argan Argar chain is a powerfull competitor, IMO. Surely Argan Argar
was the trade cult of the dark empire, not Issaries? Issaries worship
was promulgated by the middle sea empire in competition with the dark
empire of Ralios, including Safelster. I don't see it as an indigenous
Ralian cult at all. At least, these are the assumptions I have been
working from.
