Ulf Skommson:
In reply to dashing (msg # 84):
Ulf asks 'to be a free place of worship for all seems strange, don't you anger the God's by refusing to show preference for one over another? Do you have a patron God or some kind of guardian who has agreed for this to be a temple to all? Is there other magic at work that protects the building from the God's wrath?'
Are there runes or anything similar on the walls of the inside of the building? Ulf will then wander round having a quick scout to see if anything else catches his eye (e.g. is there a basement entry) and pay his respects to Orlanth before leaving.
“It is, not common I grant you and it would be true to say that mainly gods of the Storm Tribe and the Earth tribe are worshipped here, but this temple is open to all, Argan Argar [the troll god of surface Darkness], the Seven Mothers [vile Lunars!!!] and even Praxian [more enemies!!!] rites have been seen here. There is no one patron God,, but all sanctify and protect this place. If you like this place is an echo, a memory of the Cosmic Council. Defilers would certainly find this place not undefended”.
There are lots of runes around the place, one would perhaps even think that all of them are here. You know a lot as an Orlanthi and you recognise most but there are a few that are strange and slightly unnerving or you recognise as signifying enemies such as Darkness.
The place is otherwise sparsely furnished, a few niches around the walls to hold votive offerings and the like.
The temple has a basement (Kareena will explain for certain Chthonic deities of Darkness or Earth), two floors and a timber tower open to the elements (where you can feel at one with Orlanth) [speaking of whom clouds are gathering and it’s going to rain soon]. The building has the main entrance you came in by and a smaller side exit leading to the latrines.
