==Notable | ===Training areas=== | ||
Two small locked training areas are near the start of the cloister. The '''Infiltration Training''' area is filled with disguises and chest to practice lockpicking. '''Interrogation Training''' contains a torture chamber. | |||
===Main chamber=== | |||
Past the training rooms, a long corridor leads to the main chamber of the temple, where Mother Superior [[Viconia DeVir]] and the rest of the Sharrans are waiting for the party. Approaching Viconia will progress [[Investigate the House of Grief]] and [[Daughter of Darkness]]. | |||
===Dormitories=== | |||
The dormitories are located to the north of the main chamber. [[Nocturne]] can be found there and will offer to trade with the party. Speaking with her will also complete [[A Familiar Face]]. Viconia's quarters are at the back of the dormitories. Some notes left by Viconia provide background information on her history with Shadowheart. | |||
===Armoury=== | |||
To the south-east of the main chamber is an armoury, containing several magical weapons. Behind a wooden barricade, a short path leads to the '''Night Orchid Cave''', containing a small lake surrounded by [[Night Orchid]]s. | |||
===Threshold of Loss=== | |||
Behind the main chamber, a large locked door called the '''Threshold of Loss''' blocks entry to the rest of the temple. It can either be lockpicked (DC 30), opened with a key, or opened by placing 1000 gold worth of items on the scale in front of the statue of Shar (this will consume the items!). If Shadowheart is a Dark Justiciar, the door opens on its own. Behind the door [[Shadowheart]]'s parents are trapped; see the quest [[Daughter of Darkness]] for more information. | |||
A [[Mirror of Loss]] can be found behind Shadowheart's parents; see its page for more information on interactions. | |||
