28. Temple of Mryw

The Temple of Mryw is one of Mosstone’s more enigmatic landmarks, shrouded in secrecy and intrigue. Dedicated to the lesser-known deity Mryw, associated with mysteries, secrets, and the balance between light and shadow, the temple has drawn a small but devoted following. The structure itself is modest compared to the town’s other places of worship, constructed from dark stone that seems to absorb the light. Its arched entrance is flanked by two carved pillars, each depicting a veiled figure holding a book and a dagger—symbols of knowledge and discretion.

While the temple’s followers are few, their presence in Mosstone is palpable. Many are scholars, scribes, or adventurers drawn to Mryw’s focus on uncovering hidden truths. It is rumored that the temple houses a library of forbidden knowledge, with texts detailing everything from ancient rituals to the mysteries of the blight affecting the region. Access to this library, however, is granted only to those who have proven their devotion to Mryw.

Despite its quiet nature, the Temple of Mryw has attracted suspicion and curiosity. Some townsfolk whisper that its followers dabble in shadowy dealings or possess dangerous knowledge. Others, however, see the temple as a source of wisdom and balance in a world increasingly filled with chaos.

The Temple of Mryw stands as a symbol of the unknown, offering a place of solace and reflection for those who seek it, while remaining a mystery to the rest of Mosstone.
