[Therenborough Chapel, Interior]
The city's tiny chapel is a simple square room furnished with polished oak
pews facing a raised altar. The small stained-glass window over the entry door
casts a subdued light upon the altar, causing the embroidery on the altar
cloth to sparkle with a silky bluish glow. A single brass candlestick rests in
the middle of the cloth. You also see a cantankerous Shadow Servant who appears
rather calm, an obstreperous Shadow Servant, a glowering Shadow Servant, a
small birch door, a marble bier with a brilliantly polished suit of full plate
armor engraved with the seal of Therengia on it, and a curtained opening.
