Destiny's Tears--Nemesis's Rage

[OOC: I'm back.
Gotcha.... I enter with Extended Detect Mode (TM) on.]

*Mhrazhar enters the temple, where some of the priests and lay followers look at him a bit oddly. Before he can get very far, one of the Praetors approaches him.*

"Excuse me, sir. Have you come here to request Myneria's blessings to recover from a malady? If so, I can let you know our going rate of donation requests."

 

[FreeXenon]

Smiling broadly, Mhrazhar looks at the man as though he is speaking a language that the Mojiin does not understand, cocks his head to the side, and says "Myneria? Donation? Malady?" while looking attentively.

"Oh, you must be lost. The Mojiin grove is to the northeast--you probably want that," he attempts to escort Mhrazhar to the door to point in the right direction.

"I have a friend who is quite competent and trained under Praetorian Masters. I have come to you because I am curious about the Praetorian faiths and your temple architectures. We have nothing like this on Arris."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Huh? You seem to speak Eldish well enough. So do you or don't you understand the words 'donation' and 'malady' ," the man asks, confused.

 

[FreeXenon]

"Yes, I was not expecting to have someone assume my desires upon entering. I guess I expected conversion to be the first thing on your mind. I am not all that familiar with you humanoid's ways yet. Might we take a look around while you tell me more about this Myneria?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't know a huge amount of Mojiin culture, but I do know that there has never been a documented case of a Mojiin converting to worship the Lady of Wisdom, so no, I assumed conversion was not on your mind. On the other hand, sometimes adventurous sorts needs spells or potions, which seemed the only logical reason you would enter the building. It appears my deduction was misplaced. Yes, you can look around the temple. I will show you a few rooms briefly."

"Myneria is the Golden Empress, and she overthrew the Old Gods to bring in the new, heralding a Golden Age for our Empire. She is the goddess of strategy, wisdom, and rulership," he explains while leading Mhrazhar inside the temple. He triangulates his target to an acolyte girl in the far back who is currently sitting where she can reach a board with pieces across from another man.*

 

[FreeXenon]

"Overthrow the gods? Hmmm.... Strategy and Wisdom, huh? What would be her lady's wisdom in case the very animals to which is hunted for food collectively fought back?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Myneria presides not over the Hunt. That would be her half-sister Agrotera," the priest explains.
