Platinum House
The Platinum House is a "new age" styled shrine to the Platinum Dragon, located in Interstead Sprawl, Zadash.[1] Deeply empowering speeches are given during sermons that are led by the Herald of the House at noon.[2]
Building description[edit | edit source]
A beautiful white building with blue tapestries on its outside and a couple entrances, it has a reflective mirrored sphere atop the roof which during the day causes the building to give off a beacon-like glow.[3] At night, it emits a faint white glow like a beacon in the middle of the darkened city.[4] The building is used for worship and meditation. Sermons are usually given around noon.[2]
Interior[edit | edit source]
It has open archways, floor spaces and some hallways available for worship and meditation. There are areas for reading, napping, and sleeping.[5] There are bowls scattered throughout the rooms, where knick-knacks can be thrown in.[6]
There is a big statue of the Platinum Dragon that hovers about 15 feet off the ground by two sets of chains in the central domed archway right beneath the glowing dome at the top. The statue is made of polished silver that is made to look like pure platinum. It has its wings outstretched and is looking down over the chambers, where the folks gather for the sermon and/or sit there to meditate and pray and worship.[7]
At the end of a hall are two chambers: the bedchambers of Kumas, and a 15 by 10-foot storage chamber holding candles, statues and things that are used in various ceremonies. There are several wooden hanging rods holding vestments that are used for more formal events and celebrations and holidays.[8]
Notable people[edit | edit source]
The caretakers of the temple, low-level priests of the Platinum Dragon, wear tabards that are mostly a silver-white color with the symbol of Bahamut, blue with a silver dragon. They're simply dressed.[9]
- Kumas: Herald of the House[10]
- Braius Doomseed: Head of Security fired in 835 PD after failing to stop Jester's and Nott's prank.[11]
History[edit | edit source]
Campaign 2: The Mighty Nein[edit | edit source]
Jester scouted out the temples to all the other gods in Zadash, memorizing the schedules of the guards and priests, and planned to desecrate them. She enlisted Nott's help to do so. Jester decided to mess with the Platinum House, since it was close to the bathhouse. She asked for help from Nott. Disguised as the Herald of the House Kumas and an elderly gnomish woman, Jester and Nott approached the temple. They successfully told the patrons and caretakers to clear the chambers and Jester climbs the statue of The Platinum Dragon. She painted the statue with rainbow colors. When she began adding a mustache, a group of people approached and she fled with the help of Duplicity, instigating a chase with five Crownsguard and two members of the church. While Jester hid in a storage room, Nott was captured in Otiluke's Resilient Sphere. When the Crownsguard tried to arrest Nott, Nott escaped, and Jester escaped the storage room. They both managed to escape Platinum House and blend in with the crowd in the streets before the Crownsguard could catch up with them.[12]
Campaign 3: Bells Hells[edit | edit source]
Braius Doomseed revealed to Bells Hells that he had once been a follower of the Platinum Dragon stationed as security at the Platinum House, but after the desecration performed by (unbeknownst to him) Jester and Nott, he was dismissed in disgrace.[11]
