Temple of Viest (the Fated)
(Temple 005)
Introduction:

This temple to Viest consists of a single building containing two levels, with an interior courtyard partially enclosed on three sides by the temple. A wide, covered porchway spans the temple front, and connects to terraces that ring the courtyard. Three to six priests and three to six novices can be found here. The temple is fairly large and well-funded, and boasts both a library and alchemical laboratory. Given the temple's open construction, it is most likely located in a moderate climate.
