Goldspires

The abbey of Goldspires was the main center of Waukeen worship in the mid-to-late 14 century DR.
==Location==
Goldspires was located north-west of the town of Athkatla, outside the city walls. It overlooked the Merchant's Bay from a seacoast promontory, above the city skyline.
==Structure==
Goldspires was a massive fortified castle-abbey with high gold-plated gates. With over 15 buildings within its walls, it was almost a small city in its own right. Its towers were decorated with gilded conical roofs, 
Among the recorded buildings of Goldspires were:
* A dance hall
* The Hospitality House, rented by rich patrons to host galas
* An infirmary
* Stables
* Several warehouses
* Several office buildings
==Services==
Most temple services were revels, parties and lavish banquets, funded by the faithful's contributions.
==History==
Following the Time of Troubles, priests of Goldspires were among the first ones to accept the message of the prophet of Lliira and restore an active faith in their deity.
==Rumors & Legends==
Goldspires was said to be supported by twelve major mercantile companies and powerful Amnian families, including seven rising merchant houses, who hoped to gain power thanks to the temple's influence.
==Inhabitants==
The temple was ruled by the Holycoin Voice of the Lady Tharundar Olehm, the supreme head of the church. The high priest was seconded by five Overgold sisters referred to as the Five Furies, all potential successors to his title.
