==Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places==
===[[Ancient Altar]], River's Rest===
The Ancient Altar, which was used for praying to The Huntress, was located through the magical green barrier in the River Tunnels located under the city of River's Rest.
<pre{{log2}}>
The altar is constructed of an odd black rock, the type of which you have never seen before. It has been carved into the form of a female humanoid with catlike features. As you move about the room, the pointed ears and slitted eyes seem to follow your movements. She holds extended horizontally in her hands a vicious looking scythe, perhaps on which to place offerings. Inscribed in the ancient common tongue on the base of the altar is one word . . . "Huntress".</pre>

===[[Cleric Guild]]s===
Displayed in the Prayer Rooms of each Cleric Guild is a statue of the Huntress. These prayer rooms are considered a holy shrine to multiple deities.

<pre{{log2}}>
The visage of the Huntress is of surpassing beauty, yet her expression of implacable, controlled anger mutes its attractiveness. She is clad in chainmail and carries a wickedly curved scythe at the ready. She glances slightly over her shoulder, alert to the possibility of attack.

K>touch Huntress
You reach out and touch the statue of the Huntress.

Your limbs tingle with a faint suppressed anger. "When wronged, what honor have you if you do not avenge yourself upon those that wronged you? What honor have we if we do not aid those that cannot avenge themselves? It is a sacred trust, more sacred than any, and we shall be the ones that keep it."
</pre>

===[[Cleric Guild (Wehnimer's Landing)|Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild]]===
Located in the Antechamber of Others is a statue of the Huntress. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

<pre{{log2}}>
Quite detailed in its rendering, this statue depicts a woman of surpassing beauty dressed in silver chainmail. Her visage is stern, almost angry, and she holds a scythe at the ready. Upon the base of the statue is her symbol, a silver eight-pointed star on a field of black.</pre>

===[[Cleric Guild (River's Rest)|River's Rest Cleric Guild]]===
There is a niche in one of the [[Alchemy]] workshops inside the River's Rest Cleric Guild dedicated to the Huntress.

<pre{{log2}}>
A large dead spider lies in the corner of the room, its legs curled up and over its body, just beneath a niche set into the wall.

An eight-pointed tarnished metal star sits immediately above the niche, and inside, rests a simple stone altar. The stone, sliced in half and polished, is carved with the likeness of a woman with feline features.</pre>

===Twilight Hall, Bleeds' Room===
The room of [[Bleeds]] in Twilight Hall is a holy shrine.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname=Twilight Hall, Bleeds' Room
|desc=Walls of gleaming obsidian arch seamlessly into the ceiling of this room to form a smooth, black dome. Thousands of shiny silver points glimmer in the firmament above, all of them dwarfed in size by a large, eight-pointed star which shines at the zenith. A web of filigreed silver emanates from the larger star to touch each of the smaller ones in turn, giving the appearance of a large spider's web arching protectively over the heavens. You also see some black pillows, a small obsidian altar, an obsidian statue and some deep red leather armor.<br>
|exits= none}}

===Vipershroud Shrine===

The onyx tablet in Vipershroud is a holy shrine.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname=Vipershroud, Shrine
|desc=A single, giant, petrified redwood stands amongst lesser pines and firs. A deep black, onyx tablet displaying an eight-pointed star of pure silver is firmly imbedded in the tree, and a row of small stones, carefully placed end-to-end, encircles the tree. A large bouquet of trumpet flowers and the carcass of a woodchuck have been laid at the tree's base. Interestingly, both offerings seem to be fresh.<br>
