Worshipers
Clergy
Hanali's clerics wear gold robes, and must always be finely dressed. Displaying one's personal beauty to its best advantage is a requirement of every cleric of the Heart of Gold. Hanali's clerics are flighty and somewhat vain, given to dancing and wild celebrations. Clerics of Hanali pray for their spells each day whenever the moon is highest in the sky and romance is in the air.
The clerical hierarchy is loosely organized, and clerics are free to join or leave a temple's ranks as they wish. They preside over marriage and rites of passage ceremonies for young elves, although they are not required to marry, for Hanali's concern is love, not necessarily marriage. Members of Hanali's clergy spend their days cultivating beauty and love in all their myriad forms. Many of Lady Goldheart's clerics tend fine gardens, while others amass personal or temple-based collections of gems, crystal sculptures, and other fine works of art. While things of gold and crystal, particularly jewelry and statues, are favored, beautiful art in any form is admired, collected, and displayed.
Temples
Hanali is worshiped by fountains and springs.
Holy days and rituals
Hanali's holy days are on the full moon, and beautiful objects are sacrificed to her monthly.
