Askir's Ruh, a venerable inn and temple dedicated to Askir, the god of hospitality, travel, and wanderlust, sits proudly on the banks of the river Vinshgau. Built from sturdy stone and timber, this sanctuary welcomes weary travelers with its cozy rooms, each furnished with comfortable beds, armchairs by fireplaces, and softly glowing candles that create a warm, inviting ambiance. The scent of fresh bread and roasted meats often wafts through the hallways, promising a hearty meal after a long journey.
The inn’s courtyard blooms with vibrant flowers, creating a serene atmosphere where guests can relax and unwind. Birds sing in the trees, and the gentle murmur of the river adds to the tranquility. Monthly ceremonies honor Askir, featuring offerings, music, and joyous dances around a central fire pit, where stories of distant lands are shared, and bonds are formed between strangers. Visitors during these times are said to receive blessings for their journeys, a treasured gift for those passing through. The inn also boasts a library filled with maps and travel journals, a testament to the countless adventurers who have sought respite within its walls.
Inside the temple, a grand statue of Askir stands, his open arms symbolizing welcome and safe passage. Pilgrims come from far and wide to seek guidance, leaving tokens of their travels at the statue's feet. The temple's high ceilings and stained-glass windows create a peaceful, reverent atmosphere, where the faithful can find solace and inspiration.
