Ciarán waited until he was sure the others were out of earshot before he answered Liadan.

"I doubt I'll find another tomb here like the one we saw very much.  Most of the tombs of my Brotherhood's monarchs are in a compound in Menagerie.  The real reason I stayed behind was to take a look inside these temples."

He walked off toward the temple and as he stepped inside, he was surprised to see that again, Silver had told him the truth. There were jewled trappings and adornments lining the walls, and were lined with hieroglyphs similar to the tomb, but clearly distinct from them. If he was going to be here all night, he might be able to piece together what they said. But the whole temple was centered around a large golden statue of a bat.

"Makes sense.  A society living in caves would have a divine reverance for a creature that thrives in the dark like this."

"Aye, we're going back TO THE SHIP!  Most of the loose treasure was across that bridge, namely, the city's treasury.  And think about it, mate.  If gold was so plentiful that they used it to build their city, well, what do you think they used for currency?  Something even more precious.  Gold, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, they're all over the place.  No... Coins made of pure diamond.  Never seen the work of a better jewel than you will in these coins.  Was actually able to make off with a few last time we were here."
