Kedos
At the top of the hill overlooking the town was the more than 400 year old temple. It was a humble building. It had no grand pillars or raised ceilings. It wasn't even very big. It could have been somebody's house. Yet this was what everyone had come for.
Kedos is a town in Mocrioca known as the home of Trickster-Trapper Cornelia Pembroke. Tourists come from all over Nideon to visit the temple and see Pembroke's Flute.
History
Kedos has been a Xurugwi dominant town since its founding. In the 16th century, Cornelia Pembrooke married a Mocriocan trickster-trapper, though she herself was Pelan, not Xurguwi. After his death, she took up his mantle, becoming one of the most famous trickster-trappers in all of Nideon and fundamentally changing the way the Xurguwi religion is practiced in Mocrioca, which is now merged with Pelan teachings.
Important Places
Xurguwi Temple
The Xurugwi temple sits on the hill about the rest of the town. Immediately noticable upon arrival, it is home to the famous flue made from Cornelia Pembrooke's femur. It is open to tourists seven days a week, but closed for services and holidays. During the times when a trickster-trapper is given the flute to use in their duties around the country, they will schedule public performances in Kedos so tourists have the opportunity to see the flute and learn more about Xurugwi culture.
Cornelia Pembrooke's House
Located in the seaside neighborhood, Pembrooke's old home was transformed into a museum by her descendents. Visitors can tour the old house and read excerpts from her journals.
