Sacred Number Shrine

A simple, unadorned shrine is wrapped in the roots of a great oak tree with copper bark and silver leaves. Preistesses in silver robes and tall, hoop-shaped headdresses tend to the tree and live in a cluster of tents nearby. The tree always grows leaves equal to the sacred number. Correctly counting them (INT-in-20 chance per day spent counting), opens the counter's mind to deep wisdoms.

Sacred Numerology

Counting the leaves grants 6 charges. All preistesses can perform these feats.

A dry fallen leaf worn around the neck protects the wearer from magic (including sacred numerology), crumbling after doing so. A fresh leaf has a 2-in-6 chance of crumbling, though the preistesses will kill anyone who they catch picking a leaf.
