Godah found three of the five founders in simple woven brown robes, but instead of kneeling at an assigned alter, they bowed their heads before them all, whispering their thanks to the deities - their voices hushed rose and fell in harmony, whispering around the large stone room. Children dashed to and fro, they wore thread-bare clothes, but they were clean and the children's eyes laughed happily as they passed on about their chores and whatever else they were up to.
The Tigron raised his massive head and nodded to their Dorin visitor, beside him was a dark-haired Human, and a Sylrosian Elf.
"Serale, Godah of Two-Cities," rumbled the Tigron in a low and gentle voice. "We are honored by your presence in our humble establishment for the less-fortunate. Your donation is very honorable and generous, but we decided as a family, so forgive me as I leave to summon the other two to assembly."
The Tigron quickly glided away from the group and disappeared up a set of spiral stairs.
"Your generation is most generous, but it is not often we accept such a generous amount, you do understand," began the dark-haired woman. "Still we pride ourselves on virtues, but we hope to utilize your donation with the utmost efficiency."
The Tigron entered the room, two humble Human scholars at his side, squinty-eyed and wrinkled with age, long beards snow-white covering their chins. "Kilaro informed us of your decision to donate to Archadoon's Sanctum and Orphanage, I believe it is safe to say on a whole that we are most humbled by the amount of your donation."
The founders all murmured in agreement.
"I trust you will visit us again soon, yes?" pipped the other old Human, clearly a spitfire despite his age and aching joints. "Is there anything in particular you would like us to improve upon, Godah of Arakmat?"
He shook his cane at a pair of youngsters squabbling - a Dorin and a Katta - both fairly young. "Now ceast you two, ruffians! Lets not forget kindness and forgiveness are a virtues!" Reluctantly the two let go of each other and apologized. "Thank you!" the old man wheezed.
