POV Dan
Dan arrived at a tall artfully designed temple. It wasn't as grand as the one in the capital. It was made of wood and painted white to look like the stone of the queen's temple. The statues were wood carvings painted in bright colors. Twisted designs were painted boldly all around the temple contrasting with the white walls making it look both bright and warmly inviting. As he climbed the steps to its entrance a middle-aged priest in long gray robes met him halfway.
"If you are not here to worship, I must ask that you leave." the priest said with a note of warning and disdain.
"Why would I come if I had no wish to warship?" Dan asked genuinely confused.
The man was taken a bit off guard by his question, but after opening and closing his mouth a few times he managed to get his words out.
"Weapons can not be worn inside, so you will have to remove your sword and anything else you might have if you wish to enter."
