In a week long ceremony, the priest prays himself into a religious ecstasy and then blesses the structure, inscribes it with various holy symbols, and decorates it with icons. The decorations and other required implements cost 500 gold. To be dedicated, a temple must be located in the priest's holy terrain. Only priests of the appropriate religion may enter a temple. Non-priests wishing to enter a temple must be stacked underneath a priest when he enters.
Temples produce monthly income in offerings from devoted followers in the nearby countryside.
1 gold is produced for each 10 peasants in the province in which the temple is located, up to a maximum of 100 gold per month income. The temple income is received only if a priest of the proper religion is the owner of the temple at the end of the month. Undedicated temples do not produce income. If there is a magician in the province at the end of the month no income will be generated, as the local peasants will be too fearful to come to the temple.
