Chapel of Saint Ardenna

Located at the heart of Emberwood Village is a small chapel of the Sacred Flame. The circular fieldstone building has a copper domed rooftop, thin windows set with stained glass, and simple wooden double doors. Outside is a small crematory garden and scattering plot for the ashes of the dead. Within the chapel is a bronze brazier of the Sacred Flame, alight with golden fire that burns all night and day. It serves as a peaceful place of quiet worship in the harsh wasteland surrounding Drakkenheim.

The chapel is maintained by Flamekeeper Hanna and 2 human acolytes. Hanna is a young woman who wears a simple white and yellow frock and keeps her black hair tied in a braid. Hanna was merely an acolyte when the last Flamekeeper died several years ago, but opted to take up the position herself rather than abandon the folk of Emberwood Village. She believes the Faith of the Sacred Flame is needed here now more than ever, and offers hospitality, kindness, and prayer to any who visit the chapel.

High Flamekeeper Ophelia Reed of the Silver Order regularly visits the Chapel of Saint Ardenna, protected by Ser Virgil Underwood and Ser Cassandra Wyatt, two Silver Order cavaliers. Ophelia Reed has been trying to convince Flame keeper Hanna to join the Silver Order, but thus far Hanna has kept her neutral allegiance to the folk of Emberwood Village. Still, Flamekeeper Hanna enjoys conversation with Ophelia Reed, and allows the Silver Order emissary to take shelter in the chapel and conduct meetings with adventurers here.

Spellcasting Services

Flamekeeper Hanna can cast cleric spells of 3rd level and lower, and knows the purge contamination spell and always keeps it prepared. She charges 25 gp for a 1st-level spell, 50 gp for a 2nd level spell, or 150 gp for a 3rd-level spell, plus the cost of any expensive material components.

She takes payment in coins, gems, or relics. She uses the money to help fund the caravans that supply Emberwood Village with basics for the townsfolk. Flamekeeper Hanna will occasionally waive these fees to help innocent folk in dire situations, but not adventurers who went looking for treasure and trouble in Drakkenheim.

Spell Scrolls

Paid in advance, once per day Flamekeeper Hanna can create spell scrolls of any cleric spell she can cast. She charges 75 gp for a 1st level spell scroll, 150 gp for a 2nd-level spell scroll, and 450 gp for a 3rd-level spell scroll, plus the cost of any expensive material components. There’s a single exception: a scroll of revivify costs 1,000 gp.
