Most of the Empire’s cities have, as a result of the culture, powerful beliefs and folklore of the peons tales of and faith in a force or deity to whom they pray to protect the unborn, the expectant mother and the infant child. And whilst such forces do indeed protect the aforementioned not all such beings do so in a simple benign manner. In Deci this force is called Nanny Hag and here The Hallowed Hag is her Temple. It is in this place, that those wishing their children to live past their first year come, to pray (or more likely in deci, to try and bargain).
Built in Aiprus IM 1012 by Master Halfblack The Hallowed Hag, in Hightown, is a place of worship viewed with jealousy by The Serpent, it is a place of blood and dark prayer, where children live through the curses of the worshippers on the old. It is a place infested with serpents, who do not care who enters, they all should not be there.
The worshippers, the desperate and the local mothers know how to keep them at bay but interlopers are not so fortunate. It is said that unless entered with a baby in arms or a priest of the faith that the jealous snakes will lash out at such who are not welcome here.
