'''Stormshore Tabernacle''' is a house of worship [[location|located]] in the [[Lower City]] of [[Baldur's Gate]] in [[Act Three]]. It is found in the northeastern part of the Lower City, near the 'Basilisk Gate' [[waypoint]].

==Areas==
=== Tabernacle ===
Inside the party can make offerings to [[Deities#Helm|Helm]], [[Tyr]], [[Selûne]], or [[Mystra]] or various other deities at the [[Statue of the Gods]] in exchange for the condition: {{Condition inline|Anointed in Splendour}}. The condition persists through resting {{Note|Narrator still says the party members have to pray each day (after each long rest) to reapply {{Condition inline|Anointed in Splendour}}, but since Patch 6 this is not necessary anymore as the blessing now persists after long rest.}}. Making an adequate donation earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] Ordinary Practises in Extraodinary Times ([[Acolyte]] background). 

The amount which has to be offered to receive the blessing depends on the level of the party and on the chosen difficulty. At level 1, 400 gp will grant the blessing and at level 11/12 it's 4500 gp increasing to 5000 gp on Tactician difficulty. The offering is the same amount as needed to get a merchant to 100 Attitude as seen [[Trading and item pricing#Trader_attitude|here]].

The blessing is only available to the character that made the offer. Each character can receive their own blessing, but they must make their own (separate) donations. Once a character makes a sufficient donation to receive a god's blessing, they cannot make donations to other deities.

If [[The Dark Urge]] is chosen as [[origin]], they can think of [[Bhaal]] or make an offering of 1000 gp at the Statue of the Gods. However, Bhaal will not respond to an offering as paltry as this - he expects the world, and nothing less. Unlike other offerings, this offering cannot be retrieved from the offering chest in the basement. The Dark Urge may make offerings to other deities as normal, even if they made an offering to Bhaal, though Bhaal will remind them of their duty every time they beseech a blessing from another god.

=== Basement ===
The basement of the tabernacle can be accessed by unlocking the '''Ornate Wooden Hatch''' at {{coords|103|-30}}. 

Within the basement, there are several traps as well as a number of offering chests to various gods. Items donated by the party will also appear in the corresponding offering chest. Looting any of the items from the offering chests (including the items previously donated by the party) curses the offending character with {{Cond|Castigated By Divinity}}. However, breaking the chests and looting the items from the floor will avoid the curse.

Seizing the offerings for the party grants the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Weak Gifts for Weak Beings''' ([[Haunted One]] background). 

{{Cond|Castigated By Divinity}} can removed with a Remove Curse spell, but that spawns a creature to fight. So it's best to save the citizens from panic and remove the curse while still in the basement. 

[[Khalid's Gift]] makes Jaheira immune to curses, including {{Cond|Castigated By Divinity}}, so while wearing it she can steal from any of the offering chests with no negative consequences other than Vicar Humbletoes refusing to talk or trade with her character anymore. Other party members can continue to trade with him without penalty. 

If a party member breaks into the basement and opens the offering chests but steals the items by right clicking them and selecting Send to another party member, then the party member to whom it is sent is considered the thief and the recipient of the curse. The one opening the chest and sending the item does not get cursed. If they send them to Jaheira wearing Khalid's Gift, no one gets cursed.
