Ostae

**The port town of Ostae (Ah-sti) of the sea of Danseme (Don-sem-ay)**

Ostae is a bustling port town filled with outgoing adventurers and bustling businesses. Being one of the six sea ports in this region of the Zoteppian domain, Ostae sees the least of tradable goods and the most of hungry, young thrill seekers. Straight off the ports are several rowdy taverns and restaurants, and further back residence areas and shops. The town doesn't have a major, like towns closer to the center of the kingdom do, instead all the port towns are under the domain of an Arch who has people located at each town called anchors, who enforce law and daily decisions. When you left, Arch Lewis Ludwig was in control of all six port towns.

**The Sea's Envy**

Notable local tavern attended by the incoming adventuring parties. Adventurers would go here for job postings, a lousy bed, and a good ale. Misty Polliworth, half orc former adventurer, runs  the ever-crowded tavern mostly by herself. She's where people go to find adventure, she sends people to their glory and their death.

**Temple**

Towards the far edge of the town is a large temple dedicated to Tymora and attached to it, slightly off to the right, is a similar shaped building of a smaller size. Made of marble with accents of azurite; the large, light colored building seems to illuminate its surroundings. Walking into the front doors of the larger building, you are immediately greeted with the shining of mosaic glass which lights the whole room golds and blue. The mosaics are on the ceiling, at an angle as the building is pointed, so it looks like the light of the Lady is shining in her worshippers. The two aisles around you are organized with light wooden pews, riddled with stains and a few slightly chipping, the long, thick build is meant to fill quite a few. The ceiling gets taller as you work your way forward and towards the center. With a pedestal, the large preaching center is created. The ceiling comes to a sharp point about 30 feet up and in it are painted motifs of the stories of Tymora's intervention, with each of the four panels telling a different tale.

West: Cleric of Tymora saving a drowning victim

North: Tymora in her halfing form holding the hand of a worshipper at her grandmothers funeral

East: Priestess of Tymora discovering a new land in the South

South: Warlock of Tymora fighting off dangers of the sea

The paintings descend down into the walls of this rounded area and are decorated with fade, barely noticeable, but perfectly even textured swirling waves. In the center is a podium, where the halfling figure of Lady Luck herself is placed at the altar.

Right: Tymora resting among her people and riches

At her feet rest clovers, gems, coins, offerings to her. Moving to the right of the chamber, you are met with a chamber of the same shape that looks like it's been repurposed as a separate worship room. Similarly filled with murals, the room also contains two murals on the far wall on either side of the altar. Instead of benches there are blue and gold prayer cushions and candles lit along the aisles. You know, that this is the original temple.of Tymora constructed by halflings and once the following for her grew to more of the larger adventurers in town, they created what is now the main temple.
