Now that the shrine was set to be built, there were things that needed to be done. There needed to be a builder, a sculptor, a founding clerical staff, relics to enshrine and a treasure. The clerical staff consisted of three priests, at least two monks and an inquisitor. Those were the requirements needed to open the shrine for worship to the public. It was a national collaboration and anyone in Sacrilmon could contribute. Even foreigners could help if the party had at least one Sacrilmon citizen. There were about a dozen Players in Sacrilmon with citizenship. None of them were apart of the Church of the Seven Roses. That meant there were things they could not get. I took it upon myself to go get one of the best builders of Sacrilmon. Dame Glenda Sliverthorn sent us a message that she would be going with some of her paladin squires to the country of Qwidon, her home land for a treasure she believed was there. To get there, she would have to pass through Sivson. It was the country before Sacrilmon if you were coming from Epic City. She was confident she could get it.
That was one thing down. Hopefully, others could do the others. The clerical staff did not matter to me at all. Anyone could do it. The cult was very small with only a few chapels and a single church in Sacrilmon. Even the cult for the Church of the Dragon's Flame had a church in each city. We really were one of the weaker religions. At least we were recognized as a faith and not criminalized like demonic cults or cult's to evil gods. Regardless, that meant that there not many clerics around to shift. I assumed that more would spawn when they left. Other Players could get a master builder or contract a building guild to do it. That was not something I was really interested in doing for the questline. It would be more rewarding to do something else. I eventually decided that there was something I could do. Gathering relics and the sculptor was left. I could do that. I also could have others help out as well. I saw Chat talking with some paladins and thought about delegating tasks. Doing so would progress further than if no one did it. Events could also time out or fail if open for too long.
I rode out with Chien and Leon for Verdant Village to find the sculptor. Chat was sent to see Red and get a rose from her to enshrine. When we found her, she was more than happy to be a part of the shrine. She asked what a guardian would do. That opened a menu. I could chose any animal and they each had a buff for the people who came to pray here. Raccoon dogs gave a buff to charisma. Foxes buffed wisdom. Rabbits gave a buff to speed for the worshipers and cats gave agility. Dogs gave a buff to strength. There were more animals to chose from, but they buffed specific skills or weapon proficiency. "I can make you two sculptors by the time it is time to open. If you want me to make them both the same gender, I can. Usually, one is male and the other is female." she said. I told her that having both genders was totally fine. She nodded and waited with her arms crossed. "Alright. I can do it as soon as you tell me what you want me to do for you. I don't have all day to wait around though." I still had to make my final decision for the guardian.
