Map 235 - Shrine of the Sun and Moon

# Background Lore

The Shrine of the Sun and the Moon is a known structure in Ardennia. The shrine consists of at all bas-relief floor sculpture on top of a platform which features the son and the moon fused together into the same entity. The shrine is located inside what appears to be a natural cave close to the northwest border of the kingdom. It is located inside the forest but the way is well marked by the pilgrimages that visit the shrine from far away several times a year. The hollow hill that houses the cave and shrine features an aperture on its summit. This circular shaft crosses the hill and reaches the cave chamber where the shrine is. Sunlight comes down the shaft at uneven angles throughout the year but it aligns perfectly with the shaft once a year during the summer solstice.
