The Order/Temple consecration

Temples

Our temples stand upon land that has been declared holy, balanced, and free from evil. To ensure that this is so, certain rituals and prayers must be performed before the creation of a temple can begin. The following is a list of different things required for the consecration and construction of temples of The Order.

Preparation

First and foremost, a priest or enlightened member of The Order must find an area of land that is naturally calm and pure. Often times, places like these appear as groves of virgin forest, or bluffs that overlook natural scenes of beauty. If land is naturally balanced, it will be pleasing to the soul.

After discovering such a place, the priest will then search the area thouroughly for any hidden evils or places of decay. Evil comes in many forms, and it will often hide to prevent discovery and lash out from the shadows; such is the nature of evil. So, a priest must discover the evil before it can take hold to taint the land and take away its natural beauty.

Again, evil is deceiving and can hide in intangible things, like the air, or in the shadows. It is up to the priest to find these things. However, certain encantations can help with the process.
