The Silver Basin Sanctuary
A pristine temple of white marble built in a perfect circle, featuring a massive crystal oculus at the peak of its domed ceiling that aligns with the constellations. The interior is open and airy, with polished silver mirrors positioned to catch and redirect moonlight into every corner of the prayer hall.

The air is cool and smells of night-blooming jasmine. A soft, ambient humming sound resonates from the silver-tiled floor, creating a sense of profound peace and cosmic insignificance.

History
Divine Services
The sanctuary offers several spellcasting services for those in need. For a donation of 40 gp, they provide Lesser Restoration. A donation of 100 gp covers Remove Curse, and 200 gp allows for a Divination ritual performed by Valerene. During a full moon, all healing spells cast within the sanctuary function at their maximum potency.
Sacred Relics
The temple houses the Lunar Crescent, a +1 silvered sickle that sheds light like a torch. It is stored in a glass case protected by a Glyph of Warding. Also present is the Shroud of Starlight, a shimmering mantle that provides the wearer with resistance to radiant damage and grants a bonus to Wisdom saving throws.
Alchemical Garden
A small courtyard behind the temple contains rare plants that only bloom at night. These include Moonstalker Lilies and Star-Sapped Moss. These ingredients are used by the acolytes to create Potions of Clairvoyance and Philters of Love, which are sometimes sold to visitors to fund the temple's upkeep.
