- Panel 5
Veldrina: Exemplary? Magnanimous? Creditable?
"Durkon": Look, lad! Thar it be. This’ll all be o’er soon, aye.
Elan: Huh. We learned about Zenith Peak in bard camp, but I don’t remember anyone saying there was a temple on it.
Wrecan: The Godsmoot is held at a different place every time, so that structure is temporary.

Wrecan: They only built it this morning.
Veldrina: Estimable?
Veldrina: Meritorious!
