<p>The architecture of Joybringer temples is designed to inspire awe and beauty. Every surface is meticulously crafted to be visually stunning, with walls that are intricately adorned and often painted to complement the art displayed throughout the premises. The furniture is both lavish and luxurious, ensuring utmost comfort. Rooms and corridors are thematically designed, each aiming to evoke specific feelings of awe and joy in those who enter. Reflective surfaces, such as mirrors, are frequently incorporated into the design, aligning with the belief that Lady Firehair communicates through altered reflections.</p>
|
||||
<p>All temples feature dedicated ritual and ceremonial areas equipped with large mirrors and shallow indoor pools, illuminated by natural light from above or by candlelight. During ceremonies, Joybringers dance barefoot in these pools, singing prayers and observing their reflections in both the mirrors and water. According to their beliefs, Lady Firehair may alter these reflections to provide guidance, creating independent movements and visions in the water that the Joybringers interpret. For larger gatherings, the temple’s bathhouses are also used to accommodate these sacred rites.</p>

<h2>Relations with other Factions</h2>
|
||||
<p>The Joybringers tend to be uninterested in the bickering and politics that goes on between nobles and other factions. So long as neither side is in danger of hampering the Joybringers' goals and activities, they typically prefer to not pick either side. They instead try to act as a potential mediator and bridge to help the sides hopefully reconcile down the line. The Joybringers loosely organized nature and the independence of their temples means that they often have little aid they can offer directly to any conflict they're drawn into. However, they do represent one of Marcandria's goddesses, with its members typically being very charismatic, and the populace often intricately familiar and fond of them. This means that, while they have little they can contribute with directly in a conflict, they have a lot of swaying power with the populace that they can wield. Visions given by Lady Firehair could also potentially be useful, though it's not a given that she'll be willing to give visions related to a conflict.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Joybringers tend to be very connected with the middle and upper classes of Marcandria, and engage with them often. The wealthy often employ the Joybringers to organize events for them, and to act as instructors for their children. Their relation with more rural and poorer lower classes tends to be more sporadic, as the Joybringers' activities are mostly related to luxury, which the lower classes may not have the means or time to partake in to make ends meet. Lower class citizens do tend to make use of the Joybringers services during open days, when some of the services are free, though the sheer amount of people that may come for these free services can make it so the Joybringers only have the capacity to service a portion of them.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Joybringers tend to have a rather close relationship with the two other major religious organizations in Marcandria--the Meranzeum and the Greenwardens. Larger events and festivities often include all three organizations, with the Meranzeum often funding part of the Joybringers' endeavors.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Joybringers generally remain aloof from the bickering and politics that ensnare nobles and other factions. As long as their goals and activities are not jeopardized, they prefer to remain neutral, often acting as mediators to foster reconciliation between conflicting parties. The loosely organized nature of the Joybringers and the independence of their temples mean they often have limited direct resources to contribute to conflicts. However, they represent one of Marcandria's deities and wield significant influence through their charisma and the populace's deep fondness for them. While they may not directly intervene in conflicts, their sway with the public can be substantial. Visions provided by Lady Firehair could be instrumental, though her willingness to offer insight into conflicts is not guaranteed.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Joybringers are well-connected with Marcandria's middle and upper classes, frequently organizing events for the wealthy and instructing their children. Their interactions with the rural and lower economic classes are more sporadic due to the luxurious nature of their activities, which are less accessible to those with fewer resources. However, the lower classes do take advantage of the Joybringers' services during open days when some offerings are free, although capacity issues mean not all who attend can be accommodated.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Joybringers maintain a close relationship with Marcandria's other major religious organizations, the Meranzeum and the Greenwardens. Larger events and festivities often see collaboration among all three groups, with the Meranzeum sometimes funding parts of the Joybringers' initiatives.</p>
