[Pymeus]

Twelve temples stand in the great city of Naerlan, each dedicated to one of Tharel's gods and to a way of life. Temples provide a foundation for a character's early RP, a meeting place for like-minded characters, and a sanctuary from the world outside. They also have more tangible perks.

The holy symbols worn by temple members show their rank in the temple, and allow them to recall home. They also provide bonuses, and better bonuses become available as one climbs the temple ranks. Cleric, paladin, and antipaladin spells tend to be stronger wielded by a caster of high temple rank.

Rogue spirits often pop up after a battle. Wielding a special "soul stone", one can subdue and capture these spirits. When enough spirits fill the soulstone, it can be redeemed by the temple master for some decent rewards.

The Rod of Destruction is the most destructive artifact in the world. Among the testaments to its power are 5 abandoned temples to gods slain the last time it was used. It tends to blow itself apart, but can be reassembled. Each god seeks the Rod for his/her own purposes, and well rewards followers who bring them splinters or larger fragments of it.
