Temple of Alchenda (the Unseen)
(Temple 001)
Introduction:

This temple to Alchenda consists of a single building containing four levels. It is hidden beneath an eatery establishment on the edge of a plaza bazaar, located in a large town or small city. Three or four priests can be found here, but do not live at the temple. The two underground levels are hidden and are designed solely as the temple, while the two levels above ground comprise the eatery. The eatery's owners are completely loyal to Alchenda.
