The Circle of Giants
In the eastern part of Frampia, in the forests of Wesbury is a city named Totforden. In general, Totforden does not have much to offer apart from it's lumber industry and the high quality furniture they export. But on the outskirts of Totforden, on the treeline lies an ancient temple. By all accounts, the temple was here before Totforden was even founded, and people claim it was built by the giants themselves.
The temple primarily consists of huge, rough hewn stone pillars set in a circle, all of them so large that men cannot possibly have moved them. Atop the large pillars are wooden roofs that create a number of rooms around the open center of the structure. In the center, open to the elements, is a stone altar, roughly the height of a man, and large enough for ten men to lie side by side atop it.
The local priests tend the place, keeping the stones clean and the garden inside the circle well tended. The garden is decorative, but also contains a variety of plants and herbs with strong medicinal properties. These medicinal herbs, as well as the healing magic of the altar, are what draws many people to Totforden.
For a moderate fee, the priests will get out a wooden ladder and help you ascend to the center of the altar. Here they will leave you overnight, basking in the moon- and starlight while they prepare medicinal tinctures and offer chants of healing around you. There are few illnesses that the Circle of Giants cannot cure, but the line for an available time slot can be tough to deal with. Naturally it is possible to skip ahead in line, if one is willing to offer additional incentives to the priests and the temple.
