Temple of Waukeen 

 (7) 


As you approach the heart of the merchants district, at the corner intersection of Magpie Lane and Gold Street lies the church of Waukeen.  The building is a single smooth cone, with rippling sides that climb to six stories in the air.  It is made of white marble, and inlaid with various designs of gold leaf.   A silver cap on the top, encrusted with many small gems, glitters in the sunlight as it catches the suns rays.

 

A small paved courtyard surrounds the building.  In the center of the front area is a large fountain depicting Waukeen herself, holding a gourd full of coins.  Many coins are present in the clear water below. 

 

You walk past this fountain and into the open pair of double doors that lead into the main chamber.  This chamber comprises most of the building, and climbs to the full height of the structure.  Circular seating around the edge of the room rises for three stories, before giving way to the massive platinum chandeliers that hang from points on the roof.   All of the seats in the temple are lined with velvet, and face the raised platform in the center of the room.  Harps, horns, drums, and lutes are displayed on one side of the platform, inlaid with gold.  The head friar, a well clothed man called Argen Ledger, greets visitors, and accepts donations to the church and to the poor.

 

The building behind the church is a poorhouse, which the temple operates and accepts donations for.

 

You may purchase holy water here.  The church also sells “Waukeen Protection Rings”, which are gold rings of protection +1 with Waukeen’s symbol upon them, for normal cost.
