Stormshore Tabernacle

Stormshore Tabernacle is a house of worship located in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate in Act Three. It is found in the northeastern part of the Lower City, near the 'Basilisk Gate' waypoint.

Areas

Tabernacle

Inside the player can make offerings to Helm, Tyr, Selûne, or Mystra or various other deities at the Statue of the Gods in exchange for the condition:  Anointed in Splendour. The condition ends after each long rest, but can be reapplied again for free. Making an adequate donation earns the Inspirational Event Ordinary Practises in Extraodinary Times (Acolyte background).

The amount you have to offer to receive the blessing depends on your level and difficulty. At level 1, 400 gp will grant you the blessing and at level 11/12 it's 4500 gp increasing to 5000 gp on Tactician difficulty. The offering is the same amount as needed to get a merchant to 100 Attitude as seen here.

The blessing is only available to the character that made the offer, and the character who received the blessing must pray at the corresponding statue each day to reapply it. Each character can receive their own blessing, but they must make their own (separate) donations. Once a character makes a sufficient donation to receive a god's blessing, they cannot make donations to other deities.

Basement

The basement of the tabernacle can be accessed by unlocking the Ornate Wooden Hatch at X: 103 Y: -30.

Within the basement, there are several traps as well as a number of offering chests to various gods. Items donated by the player will also appear in the corresponding offering chest. Looting any of the items from the offering chests (including items previously donated by the player) curses the offending character with  Castigated By Divinity.

Seizing the offerings for yourself grants the Inspirational Event Weak Gifts for Weak Beings (Haunted One background).

 Castigated By Divinity can removed with a Remove Curse spell, but that spawns a creature to fight. So it's best to save the citizens from panic and remove the curse while still in the basement. You'll know the condition is gone when it no longer has the  Castigated By Divinity icon beside the character.
