Church of Dionysus The Church of Dionysus was a temple of Ilmater dedicated to St . Dionysus . History . Friar Dugald was a cleric of Ilmater and a member of the Order of St . Dionysus who adventured with Gareth Dragonsbane and his band . In their heroic adventures together , they liberated the Bloodstone Lands of Damara and Vaasa , slew Zhengyi the Witch - King , stole and destroyed the Wand of Orcus , and slew an avatar of Tiamat in the Abyss , before finally returning to Damara to rebuild in the Year of the Serpent , 1359 DR . Dugald donated some of his share of the gold and gem s from Tiamat ' s hoard , over 1 million gold piece s , to the city of Goliad to be put into the construction of the Church of Dionysus . Although the money was donated anonymously , Dugald ' s identity was soon leaked — rather conveniently boosting his reputation . Some considered the Church ' s location to be a political move by Dugald and Baron ( later King ) Gareth to win over the people of Goliad and the Duchy of Brandiar , though none doubted Dugald ' s devotion . In any case , it worked , and the people of Goliad and Brandiar were immensely grateful , giving enormous support to the project . The money and construction project helped Goliad rebuild following the wars . Construction of the Church of Dionysus began in 1359 DR and was ongoing . The builders expected to need another year to complete its superstructure , and several years after that to finish its finer parts . It was planned to be the greatest church and most impressive structure in the land . Even then , the Church of Dionysus inspired some twenty or so clerics to join the Order of St . Dionysus , and dozens of people applied to join the church guard . The people of Goliad and Brandiar , and Damarans of all faiths , came to see the Church of Dionysus as the means and symbol of their unyielding will and desire to never again be tyrannized . Description . The Church of Dionysus was intended to the most magnificent building in all Damara , a huge cathedral . But it was a defensive structure as well , more like a fortified castle . It was built to serve as shelter against both the weather and against marauding monsters . In this capacity , it was designed to house the entire population of Goliad and the outlying farms , some 1150 people , for a lengthy stay and in relative comfort . Leadership . Despite his role in its funding and supervising its construction , Friar Dugald had no plans to serve as pastor for the church . It wasn ' t even in his home province .
