'Around the corner, any second now' might perhaps have been a tad hyperbolic.  Or perhaps the local just meant that it would be easily visible as soon as they turned the corner.  Either way, the Church of Iris stood out clearly all along the western stretch, just outside the city limits.

There were many smaller churches in Valhiem in addition to The Temple of the Quinity.  Some were devoted to just one diety.  Some devoted to more than one - usually connected siblings.  One Church in the rich, southwestern quadrant, was devoted to [i]Iskara[/i] and her three children; [i]Kyrious, Barash[/i] and [i]Taosi[/i].  But of all the churches, that most notable was the Church of Iris.  On any given Sunday, the crowd of citizens gathered for sermon could consist of men, women and children of all classes from all parts of the city.  [i]Mother Iris[/i], the first being of The Source, was loved above all.

The Sisters of the church were tending to various duties while the Church was not busy.  Sister Anne and Sister Idril were busy with administration in the main office.  Sister Liriel, Gozar and Tifali were out procuring goods for living.  This left the bubbly, clumsy delightful disaster that was Sister Juliet on cleaning duties.

She was outside, on a small step ladder, washing the stained glass windows of the front entrance.  The women approaching would be just in time to see Juliet bend down to soak her sponge in the bucket and wobble the step ladder into chaos.  "W-w-waaaagh!"

Her feet flew out up into the air.  The step ladder flew away.  The bucket hit the floor, soapy water everywhere.  All before the poor Sister landed flat on her back in the wet.
