[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 6443158, member: 12460"] Thrindar doesn't recall anything useful about the history of the church. However, he does note that Father Zantus is a cleric of Desna, chaotic good goddess of dreams, stars, travelers and luck. He also notes that the newly-built open-air cathedral itself seems to house separate naves, each devoted to a different deity: he notes a nave facing south for Abadar and Erastil, a nave for to facing west for Gozreh and Shelyn, and a nave facing east for Desna and Sarenrae. Thrindar recalls a conversion with local religious folk he spoke with upon arrival, describing Father Zantus as very open about matters of faith; the priest has slipped into the role of advisor for worshipers of other gods of Sandpoint with ease. Nuko remembers from his previous visit that Lars Rovanky runs Sandpoint's tannery, situated at the edge of town, with ruthless efficiency. He expects perfection from his workers and his products, and as a result often works long hours on his own during the stretches when he's temporarily fired the help. His leather and fur goods are of high quality, enough so that locals generally don't mind the extra wait for custom orders while Larz fusses with getting things perfect. Nuko recalls that Sheriff Hemlock has a reputation as a just Sheriff, but that not everyone holds him in his esteem with regards to his competence as a peace officer. Nuko also knows that Cydrak Drokkus is the proprietor of one of the most impressive theaters on this side of Varisia--it certainly competes with the playhouses of Magnimar, a fact that Cyrdak takes great pride in, since he was forced to flee that city for mysterious reasons.
