St. Yessid's in the Woods
From Praemal
After the tragedy at Maidensbridge Abbey, Baron Laadan Midwood wanted to make a grand gesture displaying his faith in Lothian, and commissioned an ambitious church for a rural barony. He hired a team of gnome and Grailwarden dwarf engineers to build a clockwork glockenspiel housed in the front of the church. Every hour during daylight hours, it acts out a series of scenes showing idealized life in the barony, with the light of Lothian benevolently beaming down.
Every merchant caravan that comes to Middleborough is dragged to see the glockenspiel by town elders, who attempt to bask in its reflected glory. The glockenspiel is also popular with pickpockets, who use the opportunity to pick slack-jawed visitors clean.
Bishop Jurgen Lehmann, on the other hand, finds the glockenspiel to be a distraction and would prefer it be shut down, so that the church can perform its religious functions instead of being an entertainment for those out on the street that may or may not ever step inside. Unfortunately, the current baron loves the glockenspiel too much to ever hear of such a thing, and the bishop is politic enough to know when to fight his battles.
Services to Lothian dominate religious life in Middleborough, but altars to Bahamut and St. Daris can be found in the church as well.
Clerical spells of up to level 5 are available to worshippers of Lothian, Bahamut and St. Cuthbert here at a cost of 10 gold pieces x spell level x caster level. Prices are doubled for non-worshippers, who may be refused service outright.
