Artifacts

The most holy relic of Tenemore is a round shield, gilded and chipped - said by her priesthood to offer complete and utter protection as long as it is used to shield a non-combatant at your side. The Golden Shield has been missing for decades, but it has a recurring pattern of appearing on the most unlikely of battlefields, as if blessing some escortee with the Lady's personal protection.

Holidays

Signalled by the falling of the first leaves of autumn, a grand contest and festival is held; the Shining Tourney. Anybody who wishes may submit themselves to the Church of Tenemore to sign up, and a series of wargames, mock-battles, duels, and contests of prowess are held over the next nine days, culminating in a victor known as The Lady's Champion - a title they may hold for the next year in their community - ending in a two-day party in which the Champion hosts all of their vanquished foes at their home in a demonstration of sportsmanship and peacemaking.
