// This sad story happened one morning in Padorn,
// starting during the morning sermon.
 
You are inside a chapel of Rokoon.
At the walls there are some pictures and through a colorful window a
beam of light just reaches the huge statue of a falcon in one corner.
All over the room you can see burning candles and some benches invite
everyone to take a rest and chant a prayer to Rokoon.
In the middle of this room you can see a huge altar made of dark stone.
