Shrine to Pelor: Brother Tanin Velhoon (Male Gnome Cleric 4 Neutral Good) of Pelor, maintains the small shrine to the patron god of the empire.  The shrine is built inside a small domed structure with the ceiling made of stained glass, which shines light down on the actual shrine during the day.  Brother Velhoon has two young acolytes in his care who attend to keeping the grounds clean, and administering blessings to the local populace.  The shrine is also a popular place for weddings, many locals believing that Pelor’s blessing will grant them good luck in the future.Shrine to Corellon Larethian: maintained by a young priest, the standing stones, eight in all, that denoted the site of the temple was a holy place to the local elves.  In total there were 32 elves that lived in and around Green Hills.  Although the new priest was a half-elf, they eventually warmed up to the young priest; even Sheriff Stone attended when he was not busy with his daily business.  It was a small shrine, but for the community it served it was sufficient, and many elves remarked how beautiful the stones was, and how tranquil the site always appeared.  It was a common custom for elves to leave flowers, and gifts to Corellon at the base of the standing stones, because it was believed to bring good luck, and ward off bad spirits.The Circle: At the center of Green Hills is a fountain depicting a nude nymph pouring water into the fountain basin.  This stands at the center of a cobble-stoned circle nearly one hundred feet across.  This is a popular meeting place for locals, and the site of festivals or town meetings depending on the weather.  Legend has it that the nymph in the fountain comes to life once a year and prances about the village, playing tricks on the locals, and trying to seduce married men.  The tale has never been verified but odd things tend to happen around the New Year.</blockquote>
