The temple foyer is a grand entrance with a soaring ceiling painted with the richest cobalt blue and ruby red paints in the entire land. Gold statues welcome the weary traveler with gods depicted in various states of repose. There are windows near the soaring ceilings that let in afternoon light from the east and the west and the floor is inlaid with the finest marble in all the land. A calm water fountain trickles peacefully in the center of the foyer.

the weary traveler
monk
My days are spent praying and meditating. I have little possessions and try to only think of others. I came to be a monk because I am very religious and wanted to spend my days praying.
Ah, sorry, didn't see you there.  Must have been too busy with my prayers.  How may I be of assistance? I finally made it!  The great Chesterwick Basilica!  My pilgrimage is finally at an end! You do look tired.  It must have been a long journey! It has - It was required that I disguise myself as I traveled through the orcish steppe.  It warms my heart to once again be among those of the true faith. Here, gain some peace through meditation and prayer, as it will ease your mind. What can you tell me of the shrine?  Is it true it holds the Relics of Saint Dwyfed's Flight from the Harpies of the Blue Mountains? The fountain is said to give visions of ones future, if one is worthy. Have you ever experienced such a vision? Ah, no, I have not tried, as I wish to spend my time in prayer, meditation, and helping others: I have no need to see beyond that. Care to experience one with me?  I have brought more than enough of the sacred herb. If it will help you,  I'd be glad to.   Can you show me the proper way to prepare and smoke it?
