The Moonmount LibraryEach month, hundreds of pilgrims try to climb the Moonmount mountain to get to the Temple of the Highest Moon to show their greatest devotion to the goddess of tolerance, harvests and magic. While often chided as secular and uninterested in the affairs of the gods, scholars too make this journey, not for the temple, no, but for a section within it: the Moonmount Library - one of the oldest standing libraries in the world and filled with texts ranging from history, religious treatises to magical tomes, not to mention the chance to brush shoulders with some of the greatest thinkers and philosophers of the time taking the same journey on the way up! Although some people might consider this a restriction on accessing knowledge, we know that the climb is but a trial to test one's determination to learn.

LansdayOn the 8th of Nerament, we celebrate the kindness and wisdom of the Dame. For when Munas Moonsinger cried for help for his people, she answered back. And when the elves came to Damesear in the midst of winter, her avatar Queen Auci Dameris gave them food and shelter. Let this be a lesson in altruism to us all - praise be the Dame!\n\n -Common beginning to Lansday worship.

The Goddess of HarvestBefore the arrival of the elves, the rise of Castanor, and the death of Yshtralania, the Dame was but a modest rural harvest goddess. Despite her increase of governance (and fame) over the portfolios of tolerance and magic, the smallfolk and the damish priesthood have never forgotten this. In times of harvest the damish priesthood replace the silver of their damerian blue garbs with copper, representing the harvest moon, and are seen across the countryside blessing crops and even passing on new agricultural techniques to those who may not have the means to acquire such knowledge. It is with their work that Cannor does not go hungry.

Gibousite OrderIn older days, the temple's focus on humanity led to its greatest shame - dismissing non-humans, and thus overlooking the potential that the avatar of The Dame they were looking for came in the guise of a half-elf orphan-turned-thief named Nathalyne. After suffering such a disgrace in snubbing one of the divine, the Gibousite Order was established, with the express mission to focus on underprivileged communities both in and outside our borders. It is with their efforts, in addition to the events of The Lansday, that The Dame’s portfolio of tolerance was solidified. The Order to this day finds the best and brightest from these communities and gives them a chance to advance beyond their circumstances - it is no surprise that many repay their opportunities by serving the temple directly.

The TearfulThe Tearful is a monastic order unit of magic-users sworn to the Damish Temple. The order was initially created as a special bodyguard to the higher priesthood during the Wars of Rule in order to prevent assassinations and subterfuge in the Temple and amongst its hierarchy. Known for their usage of a secretive variant of damestear potions, created in Moonisle, by the Age of Witch-Kings they reformed to a secretive order focused on maintaining the balance of magic, making sure that magic was not used for the wrong reasons.
