So, any suitable Pseudo-Christian medieval Europe is going to have saints and devotees thereof. For completeness's sake, some of these should be without direct relevance to the adventuring way of life - IE, not just for smiting evil. Most people do not make their living clearing out dungeons, nor are dungeons necessarily a relevant element of the faith of your common-or-garden believer.
Some of this makes reference to divisions in the Faith. This will be explained!
Saints are mentioned with the area they are a Patron of, perhaps some of their most notable deeds and what, if any, specific theological connection they have to an aspect of the Divine.
