Attending the ceremonies at the Shrine was always gratifying, both for the spirit and the mind.<br/>The intricacies of the communal rites unfolded them as the people there moved and acted as guided by a superior hand: seeing how well they were performed was a matter of pride for every member of the clan that took part in them.<br/>Moreover, it was always a good place to keep in touch with both the aristocracy and the lower levels of the clan. A wise look and frictions as well as preferences could be spotted from the placements participants were taking, and lovely chats and gossips could be traded before and after the formal encounter.<br/>Last, but not least, of the good reasons to attend such meeting were the ladies, always exhibiting their best looks.
