D) Construction was complete and they could once again turn to higher pursuits within the safety of their new walls. For all their dedication to the gods, they were sorely lacking a real place of worship beyond the small makeshift shrines that had been created in absence of a real temple. Even Halwen, for all his wilful pragmatism, did not oppose a change in this matter. With their resources, both materially and in people, they could not hope to match the myriad of marble temples that covered their homeland. But wood was itself not an inherently simple or ugly material to work with, given the right amount of skill and effort. At the middle of the village a grand temple, a pantheon, would be built, designed to accommodate worship of all the gods. With their woodworkers' craftsmanship and colors taken from their natural goods and their new mine's minerals, they intended to make it a beautiful and unmistakeable sight. A tower would reach high, crowned by a silver disc, to be visible for all those working in the countryside surrounding Duinmelamar. The gods were central to the high elves and their temple would be the centre of their new home.

Various idols would have to be produced. For Orowuen, from silver, for Artemon, from iron, for Belia, from glass, etc. for all of them to take their place within the temple. However one of their gods was not spoken of. All the gods were necessary for a complete society, but his very name awoke fear and resentment among the children, for they remembered the crimes committed against them in his name.
