Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Solhaven Cleric Guild

In the Hall of Lessons inside the Solhaven Cleric Guild was a holy shrine dedicated to Ronan.

[Cleric Guild, Hall of Lessons]
A shallow alcove of stone to the northwest harbors a statue of a gaunt man with heavy-lidded eyes, his hand resting upon the hilt of a longsword. A black altar stands before the statue, an open tome resting upon its immaculately smooth surface. Throughout the ceiling, glistening white shells have been inlaid into the rock, causing them to twinkle like stars as the candles placed throughout the room flicker softly.

>look at Ronan
Gaunt yet stylish, the image of Ronan is nearly identical to that of the statue of Phoen. His eyes, however, are heavy-lidded and his expression is one of bitter irony. His thin hand rests on a drawn longsword, an evocative gesture suggesting he keeps the weapon nearby simply because killing without it would muss his clothing.


K>touch Ronan
You reach out and touch the statue of Ronan.

A warm feeling washes over you, as if Ronan smiled upon you.


K>look at altar
Crafted from deep black steel, the front of the altar has been engraved with the design of a long silver sword. The surface of the altar is perfectly polished, and its color is reminiscent of the darkest of midnights.


K>look at tome
Its cover and pages both a midnight black shade, the passage upon the open pages of this tome are written in a careful, flowing hand with silver ink.
There appears to be something written on it.


K>read tome
In the Common language, it reads:
"The stars in the night sky guide the sailors home. So too shall Ronan guide you to peaceful sleep."

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Liabo is a table inset with disks depicting all of the Liabo arkati, including one for Ronan. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

A black sword, with a silver edge, on a field of black is painted on the crystal disk representing Ronan.
