Orianelle remains in the temple, and for the first time she is seen not wearing her armor, instead wearing white and red robe. She remains praying in the chapel, walking around with difficulty and slowly, remaining quiet she follows Ashenie around with her head low, only speaking to pray.

The meal is shared with warmth, all praises going to the strang man who was cooking there. Some room in the kitchen have been made for him, and a small book open for him to share and recieve reciedpes of requests.

The quiet, hooded Sister perpares a bed for him for the night, used or not. She sits in the kitchen for some time, before she cleans. Hours of work leave nothing untouched, each and every mark of dirt removed. As she leaves, there is a small word in the book.

"May all those in need share joy and warmth over your meals. May your kindness be graced."

=The Boy on the Altar=

The Tormtar Knight Alexander Holgart slowly recovers from some serious burns, how and where he was burnt does not transpire in the rumours.

Another injury that adds to the already long list of issues the Knight is currently enduring.

While recovering he spends most of the time kneeling before the Altar to Saint Merielle Silene, though he does not focus on the Saint.

His attention seems to be kept by the representantion of the boy named Billy.

During the night, a big potted plant found it's way to the front of the Church. Not daring to disturb the arrangement of the little garden, the sunflower were placed down at a clear spot near the wall, left there to eagerly wait for the first rays of the rising sun.

A night of countless little endeavors keep the quiet Sister busy. The floor is washed, the kitchen cleaned, bandages and healing supplies renewed, the chapel alight with a myriad of candles. For a few hours she prays, head low, among the flames that keep the Sanctuary alive. She remains kneeling in the Chapel until she has enough strength to carry on. Further duties are performed in the Garden, Sunflowers planted, herbs lovingly tended. A few lullabies and song can be heard around her. The curls of a tender, everlasting smile warm her cheeks, and she greets anyone with reverence.

Orianelle spends most of her days at the temple, praying and meditating at the altar, she no longer wears her heavy armor and instead weara simple, worn robes. She no longer bears an insignia of her old knightly order.

She spends a considerable part of her time with the quiet sister Ashenie, praying together.

It wouldn't be long though before she departs the temple to walk the streets that surround it, keeping quiet vigil of the surroundings of the place and who passes by and when, greeting whoever passes by with a smile, though watching them as well to remember their faces.

The work in the Orphanage seem to require much time of The Caretakers. Inside the walls, Sister Ashenie spend much of her time telling stories about knights and fairies. The names of the Guardian Nathan Goldenmane, Ser Alexander, Ser Sean, Ser Orianelle, The brothers Trent and Kald Blake, or Edelgarde and Lucia as fairy Godmothers are mentioned in what seems to be fairy tales, as the presence of some of them around the Sanctuary and the Orphanage has increased. The Orphans could be sometimes heard questioning about the Flaming Fist and the armored men and women keeping watch around the building. The stories are likely there to reassure the children, and help them understand the situation in the most accessible terms.

Caring for abandoned babies and newborns, Sister Ashenie is often seen wrapping them in a piece of cloth with the insigna of The Flaming Fist, after bath. Some even sleep under the piece of cloth, as if the insigna had the power to cast a powerful shield around them. More often, caretaker are seen reassuring the children, under the dutiful watch of soldiers. The security around the place has increased.

Recently at night, those who would come to Ilmater's temple are sent with escort to other temples in the city.

No patients are moved from the building, but sick and wounded newly arriving after dark are taken in by other temples - the most seriously injured or ill cared for at the nearby Temple of Tyr, and others taken in by the Halls of Inner Light or the Temple of Torm should they arrive after sunset.

Heightened security is very apparent at night at the temple, with its Guardian standing at the door from sunset to sunrise and additional patrols making rounds in the area at intervals.

=The Silent Protector=


As the security around the Temple increases, coordinated by Guardian Goldenmane, The Mute Knight focuses on escorting Sister Ashenie.

The Knight follows her constantly or whenever possible.

He does not help her in her duties nor support her when she is need of help, unless strictly necessary. He is especially withdrawn when she is with the youngs of the orphanage.

The Tormtar Knight has started to be wary even within the city walls, as if a threat could show anywhere and anytime.

Radiant Heart Presence:

Unread post by LivT »

As the sun sets, the locks on the Temple of Ilmater snap shut. At the request of the clergy, Squire Avery of the Radiant heart waits under lamplight in the street in the following nights. She is quick to help redirect the wounded and ill of the city to the Temple of Tyr, or as far as the Halls of Inner Light.

In the earliest hours, those in the Temple of Tyr may begin to recognise the cleric, as she casts away her coat and bunches up her shirtsleeves to get to work. She has a clear talent for surgery, and in her prayers invokes not the gods of the triad, but instead, whispers of prayers in Draconic.

Avery is not alone in her work; Blake Hightower is a near-constant at her side, guarding the healer against threats and helping carry the ill and wounded through streets to safety.

Avery is rarely called away by the Radiant heart; evidently, their duty to the people of the city is unwavering.

Orianelle would thank them for their help "We appreciate your help here, you are our welcome guests and your help is invaluable" she said, bringing them food and water from inside the temple later to help back. "Thanks for helping keep away evil from this temple".

The green skinned aasimar then remained inside, praying and meditating to Ilmater.

Shalukhe Silverhand the puzzle solver from the Moonshae stops by the temple. noting the extra security. This is not the first time she has had to come by the Temple concerned about goings on. First there was the silent Knight outside who refused to answer any question about the vanished halfling let alone assist. Now this development. A closed community struggling to guard their own let alone the community, odd goings on, that could be related if only someone would talk.

She circles talking to herself, concerned, she looks for clues that may link the two great puzzles of the City. She silently hopes the Gnome comes through with more information.

The ilmatari paladin approaches the woman, offering her drink and food at the temple and letting her know she would answer any questions she may have.

It is said that the Mute Knight of Torm, Alexander Holgart has left the temple of Ilmater with all of his belongings and left the city to go south.

Rumours might say that he left the Temple abruptly, though nothing else is said, only speculations.

The Knight does not return to guard the place, he seems to have left the protectors of the Temple for the time being.
