Corridor
| [Temple, Corridor] | RNUM: 1980 |
| An ethereal silence looms along this corridor of stone. Residents of Kharam-Dzu move solemnly about their business, as a pensive elven acolyte maintains a respectful watch. To one side, an elaborate white marble arch decked with garlands leads to the wedding chapel. A black marble arch solemnly ushers passing travelers to the altar of Lorminstra. | |

Town Cleric
| [Temple, Cleric Room] | RNUM: 1981 |
| The most noticeable feature of the room is the massive dome overhead. The tall domed ceiling apexes at a grey crystal set into the roof. Two pillars help to support the dome while a band of silver, interrupted by raised rune designs, encircles the base of the dome. A small window allows a view of the nocturnal world outside while the light from the crystal tints the room to a light shade of grey. A simple blue rug rings the perimeter of the room. You also see the cleric Nagrek. | |

>look at dome Only the walls of the room support the dome. >look at crystal The large crystal is a light grey in color. Its many facets sparkle slightly when touched by even the dimmest light. >look at rune You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the runestaff. >look at window Basically a hole in the wall, the window resides about four feet above the floor. >look at rug The rug is simple in design. It follows the edge of the circular room, broken only at the doorway. >look at Nagrek You see the cleric Nagrek. Of average height for a dwarf, his face is hidden behind his long grey beard and amazingly bushy eyebrows. He is encased in plate armor streaked with rust. Small spikes cover the plates, some badly dented and blunted. >ask Nagrek about raise Nagrek says, "Ahhh, yes, I do resurrections for a modest fee." >ask Nagrek about resurrection Nagrek says, "Resurrection is certainly good for the dead." >ask Nagrek about help Nagrek says, "Help you? Why yes, I suppose that's what I do." >ask Nagrek about aid Nagrek exclaims, "Aid you? Maybe you should ask for aid then." >ask Nagrek about armor Nagrek proudly says, "Ahhh! Great aint it? It's battlerager armor!" >ask Nagrek about battlerager Nagrek says, "Battleragers are fierce warriors. Our courage is beyond measure. We are combat masters." >ask Nagrek for raise/resurrection/help/aid You ask Nagrek for another chance at life. Nagrek stares at you blankly then says, "You are not dead. You know that don't you?"
Ambient Messaging
Nagrek chases a fly across the room, slapping his gauntlets together repeatedly with little effect. His determination gets the better of him and he falls to the floor with a screech of metal armor. Nagrek clanks around the room in his armor. Nagrek complains, "How boring." Nagrek looks around the room with only slight interest. Nagrek playfully punches a nearby wall. Nagrek's head wobbles slightly and then falls forward. The dwarf promptly wakes up and glances about with a suspicious look in his eye. Nagrek shifts about in his armor, the plates clanking against one another. Nagrek stifles a yawn with an armored fist. Nagrek wanders around the room for a few minutes, grumbling in what might be mistaken for some sort of song. The crystal set in the ceiling pulses once with a grey light.
Wedding Chapel

Many a happy couple have stood and pledged their troth before this simple shrine, and a feeling of joy seems to linger in the air. You also see a white marble arch. | |

Lorminstra Altar
| [Temple, Altar of Lorminstra] | RNUM: 13057 |
| An ethereal light shines down through several stained glass windows, illuminating a black marble altar. Simple tapestries line the stone walls, and simple wooden benches line solemnly before the altar. An old dwarven woman kneels before the altar, praying softly under her breath, while silent acolytes wander quietly about, lighting candles and incense. You also see a black marble arch. | |
| Obvious exits: none | |

| [Temple, Eonak's Chapel] | RNUM: 1982 |

Meditation Sanctum
| [Temple, Meditation Sanctum] | RNUM: 1983 |
| The silent simplicity of this small room brings contemplative thoughts to mind. Several small mats cover the polished wood floors and two worn oak benches sit empty along the wall. A modest rosewood altar stands at one end of the room, topped with two white candles. A gentle breeze wafts from a hallway of gleaming white marble leading to the east. | |
