Shrine or Pelor
Eight marble columns form a circle around the central altar of this shire to the Sun God Pelor. The altar faces east, towards the rising sun, so the high-priestess can start the each day with a ritual greeting of Pelor. In front of the altar, a mosaic depicts the deity’s symbol. The shrine looks ill kept. The columns show cracks and signs of ageing. The Mosaic is missing several stones and the marble floor shows cracks which sprouts grass and weeds. Two small buildings flank the central altar. The roof of the northern building has partly collapsed. The Southern building is still intact.
The High-priestess, Kristoff Jurgensen is a woman in her early 30’s. She is terribly young for such a grave responsibility, even though this is only a small shrine. Fate has it that both the previous high priest and the successor he was training have perished three months ago in a terrible thunderstorm, in which the roof collapsed on top of both of them. Until a suitable replacement could be found, Kristoff was appointed the post of high priestess.
What are we doin with this post? I dont understand how to reply to it really.
And Kristof Jurgensen is supposed to be a male cleric of Pelor, right?

Sorry, I could have added more of an explanation I suppose. It was sort of an aftherthought when I posted my version of the player's handout.
This is a location in cauldron relevant to one of my players, a cleric of Pelor. I fumbled with Kristof's sex on my first discription and kind of stuck with it. Besides: two female and two male high-priests is a pretty balanced way to start out a campaign :-)
I went with a fairly basic shrine. Just an altar and some decoration really. One of the texts in the 6th or 7th adventure had a tidbit on Kristoff's superiors both having died recently. My thoughts are that the cathedral of wee-jas is behind it. Perhaps they cooked up the storm and sabotaged the roof to make it look like an accident. Kind of depends how keen the PC's are on digging into the Wee-Jas vs Pelor sub-plot.
