Temple of the Cat

Posted on May 29, 2026

The Temple of the Cat on the west edge of the city of Soriano is sacred ground for the cats of the city of and the larger area of Elmond’s Shire. It is a refuge for cats, but a place of few followers and little daily activity. Once a year it is used as part of the celebration of the cats that help keep the __ supply safe from rodents. The supply coming from The Wheat Fields of Elmond’s Shire and the grain silos and _ bakeries are under constant threat from both the Orrish Enemy and the Lich Lords. The great luminous spirit Rastur is seen as a type of consort to Bastet – both are given thanks.

Servitors of the temple oversee the working felines guarding the critical supply route.

Part of a Critical Supply Route

Ishrae’s Grainary is a set of silos, mills, and bakeries running all day and night most days of the year supplied from the blessed fields of The Wheat Fields of Elmond’s Shire. Ultimately, most of the output is bound for The Bread Barges of Soriano to feed the forces of the High King fighting the Lich Lords on The Autumn Wall in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl.

The four altars at Ishrae’s Grainary serve as a means of offering a small portion for the Temple of the Cat to ensure the granaries stay dry and do not spoil. The doorway to each silo of Ishrae’s Grainary is carved with celestial writing and the footing has a place for a small offering tray for meat (cats from the Temple of the Cat) and an indentation for a jug of wine (servitors); The cats feed on the rodents and offerings if needed. Together, they demand very little and provide little but the care of cats and grain mostly through the actions of their followers directly.

Minor Outcome / Average Difficulty & Uncommon Knowledge

Because of the Celestine doctrine of Knowledge & Action, most celestials have only small sacred ground, and this is no exception. There are four altars of the Temple of the Cat sitting inside the original four silos of Ishrae’s Grainary.
