Possibly make the mercenary guild an informal, relaxed group, based in a friendly tavern in the area between the slums and mansions. Probably not fiercely loyal to the MC, but on good terms with them none the less, but not wanting to follow them over the line into complete rebellion. Name it the swift sword inn or something?

Hey, Ripped Iron! Yes, being raised a catholic myself, I took heavy inspiration from what I learned, combined with the Cathedral of the Deep and the Way of White from Dark Souls and yes, from the Cult of Talos. Well done for picking up on all that.
