LutheriaThe City of Lutheria is one of the main cities in the Region of Kilden. It lies along an important trade route towards Belthem and other towns on the Regent…. The Abbey was built around a sacred site where St. Mary’s Chapel now stands. It is unclear which deity or object was venerated here. Today, it serves as a place of worship for people of all faiths. Thus, the hill and the abbey are often called the Hill or Monastery of All Saints.
The monastery includes several buildings. The oldest is St. Mary’s Chapel, rumoured to be on the site of an old shrine. The chapel was used for religious services for many years until it became too small. A second church, called Dom Káerdos, was built close to the chapel. This church is the largest in the area and can host several services at once in its different halls. During the same construction period, the Baptistery of Roses and the Columbarium were built. The Baptistery is located next to a small spring (The Spring of Roses) that feeds the river Holle

The origins of the name “Wingchere” are unknown. Some believe that the word is a combination of the English words “Wing” and the Middle-English word “chere”, derived from “scheren”, which is also a Dutch word meaning “to cut with a sharp edge”. Consequently, Wingchere is believed to have something to do with cutting a wing. The word “chere” can also be derived from the French word “chére”, which means “dear” or “beloved”, possibly indicating “beloved wing”. A heraldic stone positioned on a wall of St. Mary’s Chapel can be found, as well as a depiction of wings.
