The Seneschal frown just a little when addressed simply as 'Marius', but shows no further sign of offense.<br/>"Well, my dear fairy, the Cult of the Sun is our official religion, as for every other civilized human kingdom in this side of the continent; moreover, it is the core of the Sun Theocracy, our most important and valuable ally. As any human, and your companions as well, surely knows, our Goddess the Sun gives us protection from the spawn of Darkness; She grants us the fire, the hearth on which to build our house and our family; She defends the family and confers holiness to matrimony; she demands Her followers to be devoted, pious, chaste and brave, to spread Her word and build Her temples, and to purge the abomination and the undead."<span style="color: #0000BF"> <span style="font-weight: bold">[Knowledge Diff0]</span></span>and<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">[Bluff Diff0]</span></span><br/>He shrugs.<br/>"Sadly I don't know where lady Jaenyn could have been or who she could have talked to.

Ministers of faith have no secular power; religion has a very little part in the daylife of most citizens and even smaller in the affairs of the Kingdom. As well, other religions are tolerated, but their rites cannot be celebrated within the city walls. <br/>The Sun Theocracy is entirely different. Religion and law are the same thing; the ruler of the kingdom is  the Supreme Priestess (at the moment Queen Purity III). People lives with the eternal fear of damnation - and fearing the Inquisition as well - and rites are of primary importance in everyday life. Richness is reserved for the high priests and the temples of the Goddess; no other religion is tolerated, and even minor blasphemy or heresy can be punished in horrible ways. The Theocracy is a great and powerful state, with powerful armies of templars and conscripts, so its alliance is very valuable.</div></div></div><br/><br/><span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Spoiler - Sense Motive (Bluff Diff1)</span></span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">The Seneschal is clearly talking with pompous as false devotion.

It's a neat and fancy place, where the harlots serve as barmaidens. Prostitution in the Blue Kingdom is, officially, almost illegal, but often tolerated - the local authorities pretend not to see if the place keeps a low-enough profile and does not clash too much with pubic decency. The Rose Blossom is also known as the most safe and clean inn in the wide surroundings. The landlady is a beautiful and mysterious twilight elf, commonly named Lady Widow.</div></div></div>
