The central location of the temple is the altar room. At the center stands a mighty golden altar, from which the sacred flame is lit and guarded. Only the high priest and his supplicants may enter this room.

I am a farm animal. I am raised for food. My main purpose is to eat plants that humans cannot, so that useless plants are transformed into nutritious meat.  I am a high value possession, so I am treated well...at least until it's time to be eaten!
Hey, you guys don't sacrifice farm animals here, do you? i will if you would like me to sacrifice some. Oh no. I am very much AGAINST sacrificing farm animals! yeah we sacrifice farm animals. but maybe since you are a talking animal the king will make an exception. Is there any way I can get you to put that in writing? Any way I can get a guarantee? i'll see what i can do Thanks, and if I can do you any favors, just let me know. You wouldn't mind if I take this collar off, would you? make yourself at home. and perhaps just get this rope off my neck as well, not that I don't trust you. i have this knife here. if you want it you can have to protect yourself. I am waiting on the king to perform the writ of association.  Like, normally I don't really hang out with a lot of religious people. But you are amazing. I really like you. have you considered applying for a position at the circus?
