Shrine to Torm (Shadowdale)

The shrine of Torm in Shadowdale was a small stone temple with a thatched roof, that had Torm's holy symbol carved in the facade above the south-eastern facing doorway.

Appearance
The grantie building was surrounded by a colorful, sweetly-flagrant flowerbed, and was tended to weekly by local druids. About twenty feet east from the temple was a tall oak tree, that provided total shade, keeping the inside of the building completely comfortable and cool.

History
The shrine itself was erected in 1359 DR by the local faithful of Torm, as a means to provide safety for the many travelers entering Shadowdale. They imbued the building with it's protective magic. Not long after, druids of Chauntea passing by thought it looked bare and planted the flowers and oak tree, which was expedited by their magic, specifically the plant growth spell.

Magic
Anyone attempting to vandalize, or defile the shrine were permanently blinded until they personally fixed the damage for which they were responsible. Also, anyone attempting to pick more than a couple flowers from the garden became entangled as per the spell. Lastly if anyone attempted to chop down or destroy the oak tree would see it animate into it's true form, a treant.

The shrine was a haven to any who stayed inside, offering protection from local wildlife and beasts.

Although it was not known to all, this temple was actually a symbol of the partnership of natural divine powers. The shrine itself was a place of worship for four different deities: Torm, Chauntea, Silvanus and Mielikki. Each of these divine powers were represented in some way. Torm by the stout building, Chauntea by the beautiful flowerbed, Silvanus by the protective oak tree and Mielikki by the vengeful treant.
