Absalom's Temple of the Shining Star, located near the street ringing the pit around the Starstone Cathedral, is the largest temple of Sarenrae north of the capital of Qadira, and the only such church in Absalom. The church runs several pavilions for junior priests to minister the public for free, and devotees travel to the church at least once a month. Paladins of the goddess, especially those from Taldor, are trained in fighting with the scimitar, medicine, and the Kelesh language skills necessary to read the holy book of the goddess.
