A good spot for a shrine to Correllon Larethian


Shackled City Adventure Path


I am starting the adventure path series this coming tuesday and my party will include a cleric of Correllon Larethian. Any suggestions on were to place a shrine? It will probalby be a small unattended spot were the few elves the call Cauldron their home and those visiting the city on buissness can pay their respects.


Two thoughts spring to mind:

1 How about replacing the shrine of Pelor with one to Correllon Larethian? I mean same location, same priest etc. Perhaps alter the location a bit. You know, more trees, less buildings.

2) Use the wooded area next to the lakeside pavillion as the location for the shrine. It means you'll either have to figure out why Shensen is there (she inhabits those woods after the flood season story, or come up with another location for her. The drowning Morkoth springs to mind.


I've put a little shrine to the whole Seldarine in the clump of trees southeast on the Cauldron map, near Westkeys map market.

"The Shrine of the Arimo'Sel'thithir" or "Arvandors Seed"

The shrine takes the form of a silver/grey tree with odd looking knots and a spiral of (what looks like) elven script that runs right around the trees thick trunk from the base to just over an elf's head height. The elven "writing" looks like it has been somehow "grown" into the tree, not carved.

The tree looks like a cross between a silver birch and a small hardy oak. In summer its leaves are an olive tone, fading to a light coppery brown in the autumn. In the winter the tree strangly keeps its leaves, but they turn white (sometimes with a tint of silvery blue under moonlight) and once spring comes around again they become a strong golden yellow colour.

Some of the "knots" upon the trunk have formed natural bowls where rain collects and birds like to bathe/drink from them. Each knot is often thought to represent a member of the elven pantheon. It has become an elven custom in Cauldron to kiss your fingers and lightly touch your gods knot at the end of a prayer.

A local cleric of Correllon Larethian* tends to the tree and has fought to keep the tree around over the years, a few years ago a local noble wished to build a private gentlemans club on the site, the elven comunity of Cauldron stood against the proposal and the matter was dropped after a long and lengthy debate (curiously the towns dwarves sided with the elves when usually they are known to be rivals in most matters.)

*the cleric, Armithó Kelthari (male, age: 359, AL: CG.)
(6th lv clr/1st lv ftr/1st lv wiz) was a travelling swordsman from the far west, he came to Cauldron nearly 150 years ago.
Armithó intended just to pass through Cauldron on his way east (to a popular fighting arena) but found himself at this strange young tree while looking for a place to practice his sword-play.
Armithó had some sort of spiritual awakening the moment he laid his eyes upon the tree, gave up his glory-seeking lifestyle and knew in his heart he had found his calling here, in Cauldron, to become one of Correllon Larethian's faithful and tend this sacred place.

Armithó was one of the last people to go missing/kidnapped during the "Lifes Bazzar" module.

Armithó is a tall, slim, moonelf with the thumb missing on his left hand, he has dark-blue eyes and waist length black hair. He tends to look as if he is always on the verge of laughter and has a deep and throaty voice for an elf. He normally wears a dark charcoal grey robe of well spun wool and carries a beautiful white oaken staff that secretly hides the blade of his magical longsword inside it.
