The Twinstars aren't a big cult so their temples will only be found at major 
population centres. For White Moon contacts, I'll let you spend 1 HP and have
'White Moon Contacts in Peloria' at 13 (usually it would be two because it 
would be an 'in game' narrative). I'll assume that you had 3 HP as the end of
your last activity.
 
During your journey along Daughter's Road Aalmon stops at a small village with
a sick Icthya. Taking her to the Seven Mothers Healers he notices that the person
on duty is a young woman. With some conversation he quickly discerns that she is 
a member of the White Moon pacifist cult (1), and she informs him that many in
the region are members of that conspiracy.

Near the Elf Sea would be best. But tell me, why are you travelling with this
aldryami? What is your mission?"
