7th Winter 515
Clyde wasn't one to often go out and mingle with the common folk of Syliras.
He'd had enough trouble once his lab was built, since apparently the workers involved had decided to tell everyone they knew a new mage was about. He'd hoped the lab to be a refuge, but as it wasn't secret he had to at times deal with random people coming by. Random people angry at him, some wanting him to leave the city. Some simply left notes on his door, not wanting to face a mage directly.
And then there were the few who thought to ingratiate themselves to a mage, or who claimed to want use of his enchanting services but invariably didn't have the money to pay for it.
He was only glad that his face wasn't well known, even if far to many people for his liking knew where his lab was.
He'd had such a person visit today, and after dealing with them that morning wanted to get away for a bit. But it nearing winter, going outside the city and possibly camping wasn't as easy of a task. Not if he didn't want to reveal certain of his skills that he'd been keeping hidden.
He preferred to keep his status as a mage hidden if possible, since it tended to make dealing with the common folk easier. And where did common folk go? To the temple.
He'd seen the temple back in Ravok, and it was a rather different thing. This one was vaguely similar in its temple-ness, but still quite varied from the one focused on the worship of Rhysol.
Clyde hadn't visited it much, nor had he visited this temple much as he'd grown up in Syliras. He just didn't find a need to go to a specific place if he wanted to show worship for his deity. But as this was where the people were, this was where Clyde supposed he should go.
Who knew, perhaps he'd meet someone of interest, gain a contact, or add another piece to the web of influence he was slowly spreading over Syliras.
Clyde wore his robes as usual, and held the ever present staff Cha in his hand. The length of blue wood tended to draw attention due to its odd coloring, crafted of a wood native to Mura.
Unsure what to do, Clyde wandered about a bit, stared at the high ceiling, closed his eyes, and did other things he assumed one did in a temple. Mostly he just kept to himself, not noting anyone who seemed to be of worth...
Most of the people, in his opinion, looked like they spent their days digging in a field, which wasn't the type of person who garnered his notice, or who were worth his time.
