Many people want to come to Mevlova Pregnant mothers attempt to have there children born they so that they will be strong and healthy. many people go there on religious Journeys ending in a prayer and offering at the Great Temple.

Most who travel will have to stay in one of the many inns on the outside of the Mevlovan walls one quite famous is the Golden-Cow a all race welcome wine and cheese bar/inn this cheese and wine is no where close to the quality of true Mevlovan wines and cheeses but is not bad by any standard.

Nobles tend to find themselves in Lavish inn's costing large amounts but with the best wines and cheeses along with complementary meals and security.
