Temple of Good Cheer

The Temple of Good Cheer was a makeshift temple dedicated to Lliira and Milil located in the Adventurers' Quarter of the Southern Ward of Waterdeep.

Location
The temple was located in a three-story building on the east side of Weeping Maiden's Run near the corner of Fishwife Alley and Slop Street. It was on the second floor and was accessible through an external stairwell. The temple occupied the second floor of the building between the derelict lower and topmost floors.

Structure
The Temple spanned over the entire center floor of the building. It was separated into three distinct sections: the west-most area was a large room dedicated to dance lessons; the east-most room was used for teaching musical instruments, and the southeast room held the worshiping area. The remainder of the rooms interconnecting those sections were used as living suites by the resident clerics.

Atmosphere
The makeshift temple sported large silver holy symbols mounted high on a wall covered in red velvet, visible from both inside and outside the building. While the floor housing the temple was kept clean, the others were decrepit and neglected.

Services
In addition to religious ceremonies, the temple offered dance and music lessons in return for donations.

The resident priestess of Lliira was a skilled dancer and taught rare skills such as ancient elven court dances, Rashemite dances, and Tethyrian dances, in addition to more common dancing styles from all over the Realms.

The resident priest of Milil taught how to play the flute, birdpipes, and string instruments such as the lyre. He also gave singing lessons, focusing mostly on common and Elvish ballads.

History
The temple was built circa 1366 DR by a married couple of clerics retiring from adventures–Rachel Arren and Arkiem Arren. With the blessing of the Patriarch of Song, they decided to establish a communal temple to both their deities. The temple's main source of income was the dance and music lessons provided there during the day, and the funds raised by Arkiem during nightly performances at the Safehaven Inn.

Inhabitants
The temple was inhabited by the resident clerics. They saved money with the intention of purchasing the entire building, in order to fix it and establish a more proper temple.
