During a sermon in the church of lathander

Elric asks for permission to speak at the podium from the abbot and says the following to the faithful:

Ours is a faith of purity not unscrutinable ceremonies and dogmas... it is said once a devoted priest of the morninglord met upon a farmer who was praying quite wrong in all senses.. he chastised the farmer and moved on. An avatar of our lord came to him saying "That farmer prayed with all his heart... now he does not pray at all in fear of doing it wrong! You have deprived me of a pure prayer."

A single moment of honest, genuine deep prayer to the morninglord is at the very least equal to the performance of the ceremonies at The Spires Of Morning.

Let us pray with our hearts and souls to our lord

He then finishes with the following litany:

Oh our glorious god! giver of life, remover of all pain and sorrows, bestower of happiness, the creator of new Life, thou art most luminous, exalted and a destroyer of sins. we meditate upon thee. may thou inspire, enlighten and guide our hearts in the right direction.

Giah sitting in pews listens onwards as he listens to the litany and speech. he nods a smile coming to his face as he retorts the ending of the litany with Elric as he speaks upon the number of those before him.

Watching Elric speak from her seat a few pews over from Giah, she gives a quite nod and smile. When he finishes with his litany, she begins to murmur a quiet prayer herself to the Morninglord.

*somewhere distant a large figurie stops and looks to the sun*

The Abbot Elijah smiles and nods in agreement during Elric's sermon. As the Knight Protector closes with the litany, Elijah raises his hands to the level of his shoulders, arms slightly outstretched, palms facing the heavens.

A heightened tingling courses through the Abbot's body as he wills his qi to flow from his hands to the top of his bald shaven head. Elijah closes his eyes and a glorious vision of the magnificent light of dawn spreading across the dales soon floods his mind...
