In your conreligion, where do people worship?

In the CCoD, people worship at their local Eirolotaro. This consists of a building or enteryway, an indoor meditation hall, and finally an outside altar. The outside altar is screened in to keep pesky bugs out, but it is unprotected from the weather. Therefore when it rains, the church service or meditation or what have you must move to the indoor meditation hall.

Rain is seen as an important commodity for the altar, because it cleans and purifies it and it also makes it shiny. The altar is made entirely out of rock, and there are five rocks that make up the altar (representing the five elements: God, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire). There is also a center stone made out of quartz, which is said to absorb the church's prayers and send them to God.

Rain water is a natural resource, so it is considered automatically holy, because it comes from God. Rainwater is collected (or snow) and is put at the door of the Eirolotaro so that people can bless themselves as they walk in.

Adpihi religion is mostly a private relationship between the worshipper and God; so they tend to worship anywhere they can find peace and quiet and privacy and a lack of distractions. But people in charge of small children -- especially their own children -- often lead them in worship; and people going through stressful or hectic times may worship just wherever they happen to be.
