About
The temple ls located in the heart of Galik, with the intent of being accessible to all of Galik's citizens
History
Established in the early days of Galik, the temple was a local force for good by 400 BR. Typical early worshippers included anyone in need of healing, farmers, and soldiers, and Pelor's clerics were a common sight among the streets of Galik and in its surrounding communities. For many centuries this continued, until the Holy War resulted in Pelor's sundering and loss. The resultant mortal impact was that the temple was "remembered" as having always been a place of joint worship between Lathander and Helm. For several years this persisted until Eve managed to restore Pelor, at which point the temple returned to its previous routine.
Today the temple serves as a place of worship and gathering, and is host to an active and engaged community. Eve's influence on Pelor has led to greater social engagement within the community and beyond daily prayer services and healing skills, various social gatherings are held in the open areas of the temple's gardens or in the gathering rooms in the utility buildings. In addition to the acolytes and clerics, the infirmary hosts locals on a lottery basis who are interested in learning the basics of healing in non-magical ways. Many members of the Free Defenders and the River Watch take part in that activity.
Notable Places
Chapel
The chapel is the main gathering area for prayer services for the worshippers of Pelor. Large clear windows facing east allow the glory of the sun to greet the people each sunrise - if it isn't a cloudy day. But rain or shine there are at least a few worshippers each dawn, and the place is usually full once or twice each tenday.
