Shrine of the Inheritor

The Shrine of the Inheritor stands as a beacon of divine light in the heart of Talon's Rest. The exterior is marked by grand stone steps leading up to a sturdy entrance framed by two imposing stone lions. The facade is adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of valor, justice, and the radiant presence of Iomedae, the Inheritor.
Upon entering, the atmosphere is one of solemnity and reverence. The interior is simple yet elegant, with high vaulted ceilings that seem to reach towards the heavens. A large statue of Iomedae, the goddess of valor and honor, stands at the center of the back wall, bathed in the soft glow of carefully arranged candles. The statue captures her in a moment of divine grace, wielding a sword and shield with unwavering resolve.
Pews, arranged to one side, offer a place for worshippers to gather and reflect. Stained glass windows line the walls, depicting scenes from the holy scriptures and the tales of Iomedae's champions. The colors dance across the stone floor as the sunlight filters through, creating an ethereal ambiance within the sanctuary.
