Overview
Multiple altars sit in place of statues that hug the walls of the room. The room is built from weathered white stone with ornate pillars and other decorative stone works. Stained glass windows let light in from the back of the tabernacle.
Tabernacle
Inside, party members can make offerings to Helm, Mystra, Selûne, Tyr, or various other deities at the Statue of the Gods, in exchange becoming 
. The condition persists through resting[1]. Making an adequate donation earns the Inspirational Event Ordinary Practises in Extraodinary Times (Acolyte background).
The adequate donation value is the same as what is needed for raising a merchant's Attitude to 100. At level 1[2]a blessing takes 400 gp, while level 10 requires 4000 gp, and levels 11 and 12 require 4500 gp.[3]
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.
The Dark Urge can think of Bhaal and 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 X: 103 Y: -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 
. However, breaking the chests and looting the items from the floor will avoid the curse. Alternatively, it is possible to drag the item(s) in the chest onto the floor to avoid the curse.
Seizing the offerings for the party grants the Inspirational Event Weak Gifts for Weak Beings (Haunted One background).
can be removed with a 
spell or by healing, but that spawns a creature to fight.
Khalid's Gift makes Jaheira immune to curses, including , 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 Camp, or to Jaheira wearing Khalid's Gift, no one gets cursed.

Notes
- ↑ Narrator still says the party members have to pray each day (after each long rest) to reapply , but since Patch 6 this is not necessary anymore.
- ↑ Asking Withers to respec a character will reduce them to level 1 and cause them to be charged the minimum amount.
- ↑ As with traders, donated items are only worth their sale price, not their nominal value.
