From the introduction: Caleme Abbey is the seat of the Serekela (archbishop) of Kaldor and center of Laranian temporal and ecclesiastical power in the kingdom. The abbey is held by the Order of the Spear of Shattered Sorrow from the king. Its beautiful temple, supported by massive flying buttresses, is one of the finest examples of Laranian temple architecture on Hârn and has influenced builders and bishops alike. In addition to the temple, the abbey includes the Serekela’s palace, a cloister for resident clergy, an academy for children, and a chapterhouse of the Order of the Lady of Paladins, the Order of the Spear’s sponsored fighting order. Caleme’s priests, scholars, and warriors are dedicated to the cause of Larani and to seeing her shining chivalric vision remain preeminent in Kaldor. Edine Kynn, the current Serekela, is a cagey, energetic churchman who adroitly manages the politics of the kingdom and his church.
