A temple in Lillandril

Temples are places of religious worship and can be found both within named settlements and out in the wilderness. They provide services such as giving blessings, curing diseases and poisonings, and providing healing for a donation. On some holidays across the continent, certain of these services are half price or free of charge. Furthermore, the temples may remain open during the day, somewhat rare in Arena as most services close at 6 PM because after this time, monsters and bandits roam the streets. You can receive the aforementioned services from the priests residing in the temples.
