Windsong Abbey
Windsong Abbey is a pacifist refuge for followers of all religions—good and evil—to come and resolve their doctrinal and political differences in a non-violent manner and to peacefully further their own goals.12
Structure
The building itself is quite dramatic, with countless arches and towers, tall stained-glass windows which refract the light, and special tunnels in the walls and floors which produce sounds very like a pipe organ. All this is set against the dramatic cliffs and foam-flecked waters of the Varisian Gulf.12 Its white lighthouse also serves as a landmark for sailors of the Gulf.3
Inhabitants
The abbey is run by a woman known only as the Masked Abbess, and only she and a few close advisers are aware that the abbey was constructed on a much older structure.12
History
The Abbey was built in 4082 AR.3
After the death of the god Aroden in 4606 AR, many churches have withdrew their representatives from the Abbey, leaving many of its halls abandoned and contributing to the paranoia of those left behind.24

After Aroden's death, the priest Ardathanatus went insane, murdered several of the Abbey's priests, and fled into the wilderness.5 By 4712 AR, few priests remained in the Abbey, including priests of Desna and Erastil. 6
