-The Convent of Pendular Hermits is a religious building located in the district of The Simulacrum, on The Terrace of the Punishment in Laelith. It is a place that perfectly embodies the tormented and mysterious soul of this part of the city. 
  
-This convent is an imposing building, constructed with the cursed stones from the ruins of the Temple of the Elders. Its thick and dark walls are adorned with grimacing gargoyles and statues of saints with tormented expressions. The architecture is chaotic, as if each part of the building was added over the centuries without a precise plan, creating a labyrinth of corridors and rooms.+The Convent of Pendular Hermits is a religious building located in the Simulacrum districton The Terrace of the Punishment in Laelith. It is a place that perfectly embodies the tormented and mysterious soul of this part of the city.
  
-Within the convent live pendular hermits, solitary monks who have chosen to withdraw from the world to meditate on divine mysteries and the enigmas of life. They are known for their iron discipline and their devotion to their faith, spending hours in prayer suspended from ropes fixed to the ceilingin a symbolic imitation of hanging.+This convent is a rickety and chaotic building, as if each part of the structure had been added over the centuries without a precise plan, creating a labyrinth of corridors and rooms. Clinging like a limpet to the cliff overlooking the Inlam, this is where the horrible pendular hermits, climbing monks, trapeze artists, and bungee jumpers, who drop into the waters at the end of their ropes to gather fish and shipwrecked goodshide.
  
-The Convent of Pendular Hermits is a place of contemplation and prayer, but also place of mystery and fear. Rumors say that the monks have the power to communicate with spirits and predict the futureand that the walls of the convent are haunted by the souls of the former monks who lived there. It is place that fascinates as much as it scaresa symbol of the complexity and duality of Laelith.+If they stayed perched in their cloisters, public opinion would consider them only as gentle lunatics, but having not taken vow of poverty, the suspended ecclesiastics play missionaries throughout the Terrace. Perched on the heights of the buildings and clinging to cablethey drop onto passersby to steal their valuables in an acrobatic sleight of hand.
