Temple

by John R Rodgers (Photograph)

The Temple is nestled amongst the buildings of the Town Hall where a courtyard once would have stood, with its wide, open front facing out across the lowerside of town. Its position on the main road, directly across from the Tavern, make it a noteable landmark where people often meet whether for religious regions or not.

The building consists of a main, central room with a podium for sermons, an adjoining room on the north side for prayer, and two smaller spaces on the south side that serve as both an office space or a private prayer room upon request. While the temple is not restricted to any particular diety, followers of Torm will find a book of oaths and scripture and more scattered trinkets and symbols to the god than others in Faerûn.

Architecture

The building itself is of non-denominational construction: a simple podium lies in the main room for sermons, with stone benches and walls constructed of earth hauled down from the Mountains of Copper during the making of tiers for growing wheat. The roof is made of thick pine, curved to have subtle elven elements. Poor quality iron holds candles in place along the walls, their glass containers stained dark with years of use. The construction is open, with the main hall secluded from elements by two adjoining halls. The thick, wood doors that separate these rooms and the outdoors slide in and out of place with significant effort. When the weather is fair, they held open with heavy chains.
