Abriel Chapel Inn
This building served as the Laranian temple prior to
the construction of the Abbey. In 235 it was desecrated
by attacking Taelda tribesmen.
The building withstood the attack, but some minor artifacts and part of the library that had not been moved to the abbey were lost.
The building was sold to the Innkeepers Guild in 243.
Frelyn Varela obtained the franchise in 702 when the previous owner died of natural causes at the age of 102. Frelyn and her sisters worked as courtesans in Tashal before acquiring the franchise.
1. Hall.
Though the Laranian trappings were destroyed during the Taelda raids, the decor of the Chapel Inn has some resemblances to a Laranian Temple.
Luxurious white tapestries with rich red trim line the doors and windows.
Old pews provide seating, and red and white checkered linens cover the tables. The Inn boasts a tapestry of the winged lion Mendiz.
2. Confessionals.
These small rooms off the hall were used as confessionals when the building was a temple. The rooms are rented hourly for those who wish to have something to confess.
3. Kitchen.
Hanlena prepares meals here. Eilith is a competent brewer, and makes light ales, sometimes including berry or fruit flavorings. Four journeymen innkeepers all attractive young women with open attitudes work with the Frelyn's to satisfy customer's every desire.
4. Private Hall.
At some point in the evening, the party at the Chapel Inn begins to migrate to this private hall. Only a few trusted and known friends are given the privilege. Frelyn and her sisters save the finest wines and other delights for those admitted here.
5. Private Room.
Frelyn shares this room with her sisters and Tallyn of Baeryn. The four have what is considered by the Bishop as an amoral attitude toward sexual relationships.
Ilor Hadan's intolerance is not yet sufficient to result in legal action. An effort that he believes exceeds his moral authority.
Frelyn is a highly skilled medium, and prescient.
Hanlena is nearly as talented at psychometry.
Eilith is clairvoyant.
All three women are sensitive to magical/psionic effects.
Hanlena and Eilith also have some medium talent, but they are not as gifted as their sister.
The three use their gifts only for protection of themselves and others. Their talents allow them to regularly communicate with various ethereals.
Frelyn communicates frequently with "Domas' Shade", but so far has been unable to put his spirit to rest.
1. Musician's Box.
This nook off the main balcony was the only portion of the buildings interior design that survived the Taeldan raids. It is used occasionally by traveling harpers for performances. It is also a favored spot for amour.
2. Balcony.
Each evening at dusk, Frelyn, her sisters, and their journeymen innkeepers perform "the lighting".
This solemn ceremony begins at the top of the stair.
Frelyn lights her candle from the "eternal light" (a candle at the top of the stairs that is always lit) and then lights candles held by her sisters who in turn light candles and lamps along the balcony.
The Valera's believe the ceremony puts the spirits at peace.
3. Guest Quarters.
These rooms are available for guests of the Inn.
4. The Serekela's suite.
This room is not frequented by the Varela's. The Archbishop of Nurelia Domas of Aragen was killed in 235 when he was caught outside the newly constructed Abbey.
The Varela's respect the spirits peace and rent the room only to those they believe will not disturb him.
The secret door has long since been forgotten. It leads to a secret escape tunnel under the cellar that exits off map to the southeast.
Cellar (not mapped).
This room is used for storage. The Varela's do not spend time here as the northeast corner of the cellar was used for questioning "heretics" when the building was a temple. The psionic residues are uncomfortable.
