The Place of the Scarlet Rose

The Place of the Scarlet Rose is a chapel of Sune, built in the Khaldred Expedition Camp by Micah Brightsmile.

It was renovated by Ruttgrub Gnatblud who largely burned the chapel down, using it as an entranceway to the Grubgulch Burrow. Ranshackled with driftwood, leather scraps and rubble, it has lost much of its original splendour, now dedicated to the Horned God.

Layout
The Place of the Scarlet Rose was not a typical chapel, in that it had no pews and employs few sermons. Instead, the main body of the chapel was instead a sort of social salon, in which parishioners talked amongst themselves. The priests mingled about the guests, refraining from lording their status over those in attendance from atop an altar or podium. The chapel, though a religious place, often hosted actors and singers for the townspeople to watch.

The walls were occasionally adorned with golden mirrors, though they oddly had a tendency to make a churchgoer look more attractive than they truly were. Paintings, murals and fabrics filled the spaces in the wall where the mirrors are absent. It was truly a place where beauty could be found and worshipped.

In the back of the Chapel was where business was usually done, though rarely was Sune's business done in a somber mood. There, the priests and Heartwardens performed religious and divine services, such as healing the infirm and giving perfume and cosmetics to those who could not afford them.

Clergy
Sune has a tendency to employ the young, vivacious, and beautiful as her divine servants. The Place of the Scarlet Rose was little exception. Maidens, young men, and anything in between could frequently be found in the temple, taking care when Micah was absent. Many of these acolytes seemed to have joined only to meet with other clergy of the opposite sex, something which Sune immensely encourages, although all were slain by a ball of warpfire cast by Ruttgrub when he siezed control.
