mystra's sacred trust ♔ days 2-3

[ during the next three days, the knights are fed barely anything, must bathe daily in the room called 'mystra's rain' where they have to stand in a group shower in their underwear, attend nightly ceremonies, and participate in daily chants.

the gist of the ceremonies is difficult to disentangle from the religious iconography and symbology, but a DC 15 Int or Knowledge (religion) check garners the following: Mystra is born between stars, as Mystra's symbol shows - the stars are known points of magic, but the space between the stars holds far more, knowledge that Mystra reveals only to those who show special promise.

taciturn and dour, the priest fembrys generally refuses to speak at all, except when leading the chants and ceremonies. temple guards rotate duties, feed the petitioners, make sure they're following the rules, but otherwise keep to themselves.

by the third morning, they're a little light-headed from the lack of food, but are woken by the guards and told to prepare for fembrys to come gather them for the final ceremony - the 'starry gnosis' ]
