Hermitage- Courtyard

The Hermitage is more of a keep than a proper castle; without a curtain wall to surround it, there's no true courtyard. However, Percival can land outside the gate, close enough that he can enter easily without worrying about the giant trapdoor spiders lurking in the 'moat' of bare ground around the Hermitage.

((There's a plot at the Hermitage with the aim of freeing the slaves; would like this to be a separate timeline?))

Riverside Temple- Kail

The Temple seems to be just another semi-detached house from the outside, with a nice red door, black slate roof, a garage and a lawn separated from the attached house by a tall hedge. The house to which it is detached is also semi-detached, with a green door, overgrown garden, red tile roof and a pile of rotting logs stacked next to the door.

Beyond the front door, however, and a completely different scene is revealed. The altar room is long, stretching across the ground floor of both houses, the intervening walls demolished and replaced with ornate doric columns where necessary. At one end of the room sits an altar, an ornate table covered with a sheet of red velvet upon which rests a golden idol representing a centipede-like creature with claws like a praying mantis, three scorpion tails and the head of a ground beetle. Many rows of pews fill the surviving space. Upon one of the pews sits a young catgirl, aged perhaps fourteen or fifteen, with long blonde hair and short fur on her ears and tail. She's wearing a short blue skirt and a matching sleeveless t-shirt.
