Water temples in any city are a treasured
commodity and although not favored by the city’s
templars, they are given a wider berth to operate
knowing that many citizens value, respect and are
grateful for the life-giving properties of an element
so precious and in short supply. The temple has a
robust following of over a dozen priests and several
hundred supporters touched by the flow of life as
her priests seem to call it. Hamanu demands credit
for all the bounties on Athas; even in Urik, the
most successful elemental temples must navigate
through his pride. The temple’s popularity has not
been lost on its high priestess, Shivenu, who
publicly praises Hamanu for his bounty of water to
her worshippers. Only her most trusted priests know of her sincerity to these words, but Shivenu’s
public statements have successfully warded off
templar concerns of her large congregation for the
time being.
