Morningmist Hall:

This temple to Lathander, the god of dawn and renewal, stands on the central isle in Marsember’s bay. It rises aboye the other buildings, a perfect bouquet of roses cast amid shabby weeds. The pink, pearlescent walls have an inner radiance that imitates the blush of dawn. Its slim spires and towers seem ever on the verge of unfolding, blooming petals wrapped to tight buds. It embodies hope in an other- wise dreary and dangerous city.

This church has a long history upon the Lake of Dragons (Dragonmere) and the Sea of Fallen Stars. Its head cleric, also known as the High Morninglord or Chancer, invests shrewdly and has established a solid foundation of services that the church provides in order that the coffers remain full. The Chancer, Chansobal Dreen, and his fellow clerics bless ships about to embark, consecrate new ships, hear the confessions of sailors leaving on particularly long or dangerous voyages, and provide quick wedding services for those sailors who wish to get married before their ships sail.

Dreen (NG male human Clr 12 of Lathander) also takes his band of faithful out on the sea in search of pirates and smugglers. His small fleet of holy ships attacks these criminals with little ‘mercy. The captured treasure, of course, finds good use with the church.

Church: Sixteen clerics (Clr 1 to Clr 7) and twelve lay temple staff.
Fleet: Dreen's fleet consists of six battle-ready ships with crews of twenty-four sailors each. (53)
