The Ochre Womb
The oldest surviving order on Hârn, the Ochre Womb claims to have been founded over 1000 years ago. Located about a quarter of a league southwest of Araka-Kalai, the priests of this order have always had the closest association with Ilvir's home, and regard themselves as a "chosen elite". The order has functioned for centuries as the penultimate destination of Ilviran pilgrims. The majority of pilgrims never proceed beyond the order's temple to the deity's residence, finding that their desire to visit Ilvir's Pit has waned.
The order built Ilvir's Tower at Araka-Kalai. Originally intended as a shrine to the god, and still visited by clerics of the order, the tower has been slowly crumbling for several centuries. Most pilgrims believe that the tower was built by Ilvir. Priests of the order do nothing to discourage this belief.
From the temple of the Ochre Womb to the Pit itself there runs a path called the "Serpent's Tongue". This thoroughfare periodically passes stone monoliths called the "Gates of Conception". Carved upon each of the Gates there is an inscription; one who recites an inscription to the Grandmaster will receive a certificate of his devotion. A person who reaches the third Gate is called a "pilgrim of the third stone" etc. Those who reach the sixth stone (and return to tell of it) are held in awe by most Ilvirans, for the sixth inscription is commonly believed to stand within the court of Ilvir.
