To the citizens of the Gobiath:
Greetings to you all.
My name is Raviel; I am a Priestess of Sirani.
Since coming here to this island some weeks ago, I have been horrified by the general lack of faith and knowledge in and about our Gods.
Towards this end, I seek to build a Temple where people may come to learn about and pray to the Gods. All the various Gods will be represented.
I ask all Priests and Priestesses who are interested, or those who would be interested in learning to become so, to contact me; here, in person, or by dove.
Also, any faithful who would like to help are invited to contact me.
Again, this is about faith, not about morals or in whom you have faith. All the Gods will be represented.
Raviel

Dearest Raviel
Its an honour to hear about a priestess of love once more walking upon these shores, i do hope your welcome upon this isle is as warm as the welcome your coven gives to any who visit. The gods are not widely known about on this isle, but it is full of children, and there is a lack of tutors whom to teach them, so the blame lays not with the young but with the old. But my words dalley so before i start one of my long winded and ever so boring texts i would like to point you towards the docks and the ship which would take you to a beautifull small set of isles which have been claimed in your goddess's name. Though they lay untended im certain this can change.
The five with you

Mister Lauranthalas,
I thank you for your words, and indeed my welcome has been very warm for the most part.
I have heard of these isles, and their existance warms my heart. However, it is not solely for the name of my Goddess that I wish to see a temple built, but for them all; as such, these islands would hardly be fitting, as they are devoted to only one, no matter how dear She is to my own heart.
Also, much of my goal is to fix the very problem you outline, and as such, it would be best if it were relatively near a major center of population, such as Troll's Bane.
I thank you deeply for your interest, and may the Five watch over you and Sirani's kiss be sweet.

Having shortly returned to the isle myself, im certain i can offer some aid to your cause, some may remember me upon this isle, and those whom do will im sure remember me as a scholar, who's curiousity at most times leaves me wandering distant lands. For now im staying within Tol'Vanima. If interest takes you do feel free to write to myself, im certain i have a bottle of elven red which can be shared over a table. But be warned ive been known to bore even the eldest of my elfen brothers with my over active tongue.
The five watch you

M'lady,
In faith I write to you. The peaceful of Greenbriar hold Oldra, patron of Nature, dear to their hearts. We have held a service in her honor at our annual Harvet festivals. As Mayor, I have had the honor of invoking her name to bless our Harvests and grant a prosperous new year. We have a shrine dedicated to her and will soon have a cemetary near that holy ground. Perhaps someday we may even erect a chapel.
As a merchant and master craftsman, I also hold Irmorom dear to my heart. The Temple of which can be found in the great Dwarven city of Silverbrand. I have been there only once, as outsiders are often unwelcome there, and with just reason. The Temple was desecrated a few years ago during worship services, and for this I do not hold blame to the Dwarves. I applaud there ferocity to defend the Temple.
There is no official permanent 'church' of any of the Gods, but scatterings of short attempts for the various Gods, good natured though they are. But if there were a priest in Greenbriar, I suppose I would have that honor. A priest guides and protects people toward a happy and prosperous life, placing Good friends and cheer above material gain. I would be honored to be called such.
I am pleased that a priestess of Sirani has emerged, and wish you well in your endeavors. Perhaps we may commune and discuss forming such an organization to create shrines, chapels and Temples across the land, not just in Trollsbane. I fear you may be disappointed m'lady.
I suggest starting small, in the countryside where those with a will, may listen. See where the journey takes you. After all, with faith, one must focus on the journey, not the destination.

My lovely Raviel,
I think you are mistaken that faith has grinded to a halt in the lands of Gobaith. It is just that many, many here experience their faith in the gods and demigods in entirely different ways.
For instance, my shrine and temple to Eldan lies in my dreams and visions, and I do not share my faith with others, for it is mine to cherish. Perhaps we have briefly met, and I could have given you the impression of being a heretic, a heathen, a non-believer, or perhaps you have met a lot of people with the same mindset of myself. But, I myself think that the faith in the gods, the eleven and the five, is still more than alive.
To your idea of building a grand temple to all gods, I can't say I encourage your idea. The gods do not mingle well, even though you might think they would. Brágon for instance enjoys to gather great treasure and things of great worth, while other gods despise such ways. I hope you see what I intended to convey, but if not, I still urge you not to go through with your idea.
May Eldan enrich your life and dreams my lady,

The following note was written rather disorderly, as if the one who wrote it had only little to none skill in writing, though the small parchment was still clean of stains and the like, nor has anything been scribbled out, possibly indicating it had been rewritten several times on different papers.
I do not know to much about the gods you speak of, but I would very much like to learn more of them, especialy on the only one they seem to call the bonelord.
Could I, perhaps, meet with you, miss Raviel?
