Shakaz arrives to inspect the new temple, his feet softly seeming to glide across the polished floor. He takes in the beauty of the temple and looks back at the bonfire pit. There were already people praying, he hoped that in a few more years all of Griffin's Roost would be converted. And from there, people may realize the truth about his master. Spying Lady Trianna he walks towards her, soft on his feet.

[Lord Dread]

Under the watching eyes of the Red Priestess men were building up a pyre out of wood in front of the Old Sept, which was transforming during the last weeks more into a red church of R'hllor.
However, luckily for the inhabitants of the small town no man, woman or child should be sacrificed to the Red God.
For now...

"Brothers, sisters!", she then said in a loud voice, after the work has been finished and two red-hooded torchbearers, looking like executioners, were standing aside her, next to the watchful guards of the province, which ensured her security, "A dark time has come upon Westeros!
A long Winter has inhabitated the land and wolves have spread across the land, killing innocents and those, who believed in false idols!
But it was not the Seven, who saved you, it was R'hllor the Almighty who saved you from the deeds of the Great Other by dueling him another time in their endless battle! Look at the sun, citizens of Griffin's Roost and praise the Lord of Light for his victory!
I have came with the end of Winter from Volantis to spread his message across the whole land! All the land shall be cleaned from the idols of the wrong religions, who have caused the wars and catastrophes of the last milleniums.
The wolves, creatures of the Great Other to hunt down humanity, have hidden themselves now in fear from the light, but the darkness will rise soon, as it does always at the end of a day!
However, you are able to change this!

All citizens of this holy fortress of light can be saved by turning this place of wrong, wretched gods, who cursed you as puppets of the Great Other and were responsible for all the suffering of the past,
into the center of a new cathedral of hope, a beacon inside a world being slightly consumed by darkness.
The night is dark and full of terrors, but WE
we can save the realm from the wrongdoings of their rulers! Your lord has seen the upcoming danger from things, lurking in the dark, before they will be unleashed, unspoken things and plagues, which will kill your children, your wife and your livestock, if you don't confess yourself to R'hllor the Magnificent! Donate our holy task and protection with dragons of gold and we, the voices of the Red God on the surface of Westeros, are able to save you all and lead you into a prosperious future, while those, who don't see the magnitude of R'hllor's salvation, will be consumed by the Great Other and experience a terrible fate!
Serve and live a good life or abstain from the love of the Lord of Light and get devoured!"
With these words she gave the torchbearers the sign to light up the Pyre, on which the old statues of the Seven could be seen. Due to several oils being spilled before on the wood, the fire enlarged very quickly.
"We sacifice you, oh Lord of Light, the wrong idols of your nemesis!", she then shouted towards heaven with a fanatic look, her arms outspread while she stood behind the burning stake of wood, where the wooden statues of the Seven melted quickly from second to second,"May it prevail any further influence of evil from this blessed keep and shall it be the beginning of understanding upon those, who didn't believed in you! Make our fires always burn and give us with the upcoming light, you spread during the days the needed strength for our difficult tasks! Bless us and those, who follow you and help us to build up this wonderful shrine for you into a magnificent shrine, from which you shall recieve power from your servants!"

OOC: Mod roll for Tithe abiility, as I want to give the impression of people choosing if they want to donate or not.

The Red Priestess, awakening from her meditation in front of a fire pit, looked up and noticed Shakaz immidiately.
"I welcome you, brother", she said towards him softly, but still in her own kind of way hard and emotionless, "You want to share with me the light our master spent us?"

"Another time, Trianna, another time. I was wondering how much you needed for the new temple? Lord Argilac has given us free reign over spending and I believe it should be spent well. Also, I have a plan for quickening the conversion of these green lands." He speaks softly and quietly, for anyone but another red priest(ess) it would be soothing.

"Well, since there is a Sept existing already, I have cleaned this place for now from the heresy, remaining of the past", she then said, "But unfortunately, Griffin's Roost is a small place and I fear that even a small temple will be enough to get noticed by enemies of R'hllor. We definitly have to try to expand our faith inside this realm, either by convincing the overlords of Griffin's Roost or the expansion by the power of fire and steel. What we need now, is protection."

OOC: Without Griffin's Roost being a High lordship or supported by it, I realized, they can't achieve a higher temple level. So for now I'm stuck on basis temple, though I have my abilities.

A red priest arrives at the temple. He is dressed in red from head to toe a hood hiding his westrosi features. Tytos Blackwood was almost home.

[Lord Dread]

After her return, the Red Priestess awaited the newcomer inside the holy sanctum.

[Trot]

Tytos examines the temple as he enters. Good work work the Lord of light could be proud of. Soon one of the many towns of Westeros would be converted.
"Hello priestess. I had heard the Lord of Light was gathering small favor in Westeros."

[Lord Dread]

She looked up from her meditation towards him, stone-like and with a fiery look as always.
"It is R'hllor's will that some day all people of the world shall become his servants", she responded mysteriously as always, "It is no favor to recieve our message, it is only natural to follow the call of the Lord of Light, as the night is coming. And the night is dark and full of terrors."

[Trot]

"The night is Dark and full of terrors. One day all of Westeros will follow the lord of light in time for the battle against the great other."

[Lord Dread]

"As I have already said", she replied, "What do you seek... brother? I don't know your face, as it was only two years ago when I left the Red Temple in Volantis. So... who are you?"

[Trot]

"I am new to the faith. I was a sinner worshiping dark gods a few years ago. I trained for some time in Pentos where I found the calling of the one true god life.. In the end that calling saved my My name is Tytos Blackwood.

[Lord Dread]

"A new acolythe", she then said understanding with a short nodding, "Your former life and surname don't count much, as you have entered the right path of obtaining wisdom, Tytos. Many things you will have to learn as a follower of R'hllor. So you have also come to serve?"

[Trot]

"I have come to expand the teaching of Rhallor. My surname may not count as much in the eyes of the Gods but it will in the eyes of this realm. As rightful Lord Of Raventree Hall my name bears influence in this realm."

[Lord Dread]

"There are no Gods, there is only one!", she replied slightly angered with a not all too pleased look on her face, " Also, I doubt that you really believe in my god, if you claim the right of a barbaric rulership for yourself while wearing these robes. A priest of R'hllor only serves his god, he is not one of these feudal lords! Kneel and pray with me!"
Demanding she knelt down in front of a statue, which seemed to resemble the Lord of Light in his magnificence.
