Temple of Mielikki (Maerlar)

The temple of Mielikki in the city of Maerlar in Mulhorand was once visited by the Supreme Ranger herself.

History
In the, the dying ranger Rhighaermon O'Antlers arrived at the Maerlar temple bearing the holy Mielikkian spellbook known as Yornar's Trail Companion. He fell into the priests' arms, holding the Companion out to them though he could not tell them what it was. The priests charged out to heal him and protect him from the doppelgangers pursuing him, when a mystery lady in green emerged from the trees and caused vines to ensnare, choke, and tear apart the doppelgangers with no more than her finger. She picked up the faithful Rhighaermon O'Antlers with a smile and disappeared, as the stunned priests fell to their knees and wept and praised Mielikki. A message on their altar would be found the next morning, as if it had always been there, encouraging the Mielikkians to continue the 'Rightful Cycle' of the tome.

The temple, and its inscription, remained as of 1368 DR.

Description
The altar was deeply carved with a message from Mielikki, reading "That which I first gave to Yornar, I give to all in need, my priests to use, and my rangers to carry. Let it pass from you when the time is right, and to the right mortal. You will know when. Keep it not, lest the rightful cycle be broken."
