Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Ilphryssin Arkentlar begins a speech at the entrance to the Great Bazaar:

Having heard that several sage members of the school of Necromancy are petitioning the illustrious Conclave to construct several Vharr Latyema spires across the Temple of Lolth, I join my voice with theirs and beseech the Conclave to consider this, a most wise move.

It is a thing of public knowledge after all that the Temple has many enemies, as Supreme Masters of the City by rights of custom, might and wisdom it falls to the Conclave to protect its Citizens. While it is true that the Mythal already protects all citizens from harm, recent events demonstrate that even such a mighty spell cannot protect against ALL forms of harm.

The presence of the Spires would demonstrate beyond any doubt that the Temple receives, as ever, the Conclave's protection.

Who agrees with me? *he looks at the audience expectantly, having no doubt brought a few just to do so*

*A small clap amongst the crowd starts applauding the wizard as soon as he finishes his speech. This facade, although transparent, was enjoyable to one unaffiliated trader woman in mask, her pink eyes having gleam of laughter in them*

The young Yathrin raises her voice.

"The temple doesn't need and doesn't want protection. It's the city that needs the temple for its protection. Wasn't it with the help of malla Lolth that this city wasn't overrun by the Alhoon? Creating such Spires around the temple would only be a waste of recoures. It would make much more sense to place those at the conclave members homes to ensure their security."
