Rilaven
Traveling down the road in a cavern the party will see a sign post "Rilaven" with an arrow pointing down into a tunnel. The town is in a network of caverns and tunnels beneath them. As they go town the tunnel they will see that it is walled off with a gate. drow guards are posted outside. They will question anyone who comes in as to why they want to enter Rilaven. They will be naturally suspicious of surface dwellers but are willing to believe that they are new recruits, but they will ask them a few questions:
Which priest sent them?
What are the words of BE? (to persevere through suffering)
Where is your sigil of completion? (the amulet or whatever that Siobhan has)
Only if they answer all three will they be allowed into the town (Rin can answer all three)
This town is one of the first to support the BE. Many of its young men have joined the priesthood. For decades this town has been seeped in the religion. While the guards at the gate are suspicious the people of this town are accepting of surface dwellers as they know their importance to BE's plan. While their life in the town is gloomy, and the work in the silver mines below is grueling, they never give up hope that the Black Earth will save them and bring their people back to the surface where they belong.
Surface dwellers
about 60 Surface dwellers who have been converted by the BE meet here and then are brought to the temple for 'training'. The people here are totally brainwashed cultists who are excited to be here. Everyone is abuzz about the ceremony that is going to take place and imbue them with the power of earth, like the priests. They are also all excited to meet the Lady Kissed by Stone, the high priest of BE. After the party meets with Rin and goes back to Rilaven the Lady Kissed by Stone will arrive in the town with her entourage of 5 BE priests. She will be wearing a mask and a hood to hide the fact that she is a medusa. She will give a grand speech about the ceremony and how important each and every person is to the cause. She has come to personally lead them to the temple so they can become brother and sisters with her and go one their conquest of the empire, freeing Lexonia from its grasp. They will embark to the temple.Demographics
