Action 5: The Pantheon (1 of 6)
Weight: Extra
Description:
As the music faded, the applause grew. Vorhes took his bows, but noticed that
the high priest Hugo was applauding only half-heartedly. As the banquet began
he leaned over, "Didn't you like the song Hugo?"
Hugo started, "What? Oh, no, I liked the song. I liked it so much that I've
discovered the answer to a problem."
"What problem?
"If we are to do Feroze honor we need a project that people can get behind,
something tremendous that will capture people's imagination." Hugo shook his
head, "The high council has been debating what it should be, but now I know. We
need a _Pantheon_."
Vorhes blinked in puzzlement, "and what is a _pantheon_."
"It's a . . . building? . . . well, a place, where all the gods are honored.
A place to bring together all forms of worship, and all knowledge about the
dreaming and the gods. A place where no god is excluded."
"That's . . . ambitious."
Hugo sensed the young espiri's doubts. "But well worth doing my friend.
You'll see."

Survey, Planning Construction, Obtaining Funds, Gathering and Purchasing
Materials, and the Construction itself.)
