In addition to the listed shops and merchants, there are several temples which provide drugs, potions, scrolls and spellcasting.
House of the Coin [Waukeen]
With trade being so important in Valleydale, the church of Waukeen has become one of the most powerful religious organizations in Threshold. It is also one of the most wealthy, offering both normal temple services as well as money lending and brokerage services. The House of the Coin is a large white marble structure with golden inlays. Over the main temple entrance is a golden coin of Waukeen that is four feet in diameter made of solid gold. As temple dedicated to a mercantile god, their services are seldom free, but all are welcome and encouraged to haggle for better prices. The House of the Coin boasts the second most worshippers in Valleydale.
High Priest: Overgold Sylvia Velashar (CL 15)
Priests: Coinmaster Marek Wall (CL 6, Bard 3), Coinmaster Grith Stout (CL 9)
Other members: 7 minor clerics (CL 1-3) and 15 lay members
House of Fortune [Tymora]
The third largest church in Valleydale, the House of Fortune is sprawling marble structure with a large temple at its front. Over the main temple entrance is a golden coin of Tymora, a gift from the neighboring temple of Waukeen, for the two share a close relationship. The house is seldom full as its clergy travel about Valleydale, often accompanying explorers, miners and caravans.
High Priest: Lucklord Nathan Shelby (CL 12)
Priests: Cleric Stanley Ravenhair (CL 6)
Other members: 4 minor clerics (CL 1-3) and 8 lay members
House of the Grand Harvest [Chauntea]
The largest church in Valleydale hosts the largest temple, and likely the simplest. The Chantean temple is a granite, many windowed structure with a large row of granaries that serve as storage for farmers within Valleydale. The clerics and lay members are seldom at the temple, instead being out in the farmlands of Valleydale, assisting local farmers in their tasks. While the high priest of the temple commands the clergy, she shares power within Valleydale with the High Druid of Elton's Spring, Steven Mosstail.
High Priest: Pastoral Laura Wheatseed (CL 16)
Priests: Wheatmaiden Misty Dale (CL 9), Earthmaster Brad Thresh (CL 4, Exp 4)
Other members: 3 minor clerics (CL 1-3), 15 lay members
Helm's House [Helm]
Helm is worshipped by a great majority of the militia in Valleydale. His house takes the form of a small keep made of granite built into the city walls northern entrance. Two imposing suits of armor stand beside the entryway to the city, watching out over the land. Helm's House also holds the Order of the Watchful, a monkish order.
High Priest: Watcher Aaron Boarslayer (F 4, CL 7)
High Monk: Watchful Master Daniel Severin (M 9)
Priests: Vigilant Mantis Mug (F 3, CL2)
Other members: 8 lay members (F 1-3)
House of Light [Lathander]
Thankfully for the Valleyfolk, the priests of Lathander did not follow their Shadowdale counterparts in their temple creation. Their temple is a true work of art, however, with granite walls punctuated by beautiful stained glass windows. The temple is surrounded by a large circular courtyard marked as a clock is. On the very top of the vaulted roof of the temple is a gleaming glass spire which acts as the dial to the massive sundial. The House of Light has very friendly relations with the House of Soothing.
High Priest: Sun Lord Malakai Morningstar (CL 10)
Priests: Sunrise Elery Morningstar (CL 5), Sir Terrance of Lathander (Pal 5)
Other members: 2 minor clerics, 1 paladin apprentice, 4 lay members
House of Soothing [Ilmater]
The soothing house boasts a large following, just behind Tymora's temple. The clerics of Ilmater are nearly guaranteed free food and lodging wherever they travel within the dale as they offer their healing services free, as well as burial rights for all. Their house is outside the town walls about a half mile towards Estle, where the Threshold graveyard is located. They have no high priest, but boast a fairly large group of priests and priestesses.
Priests: Adorned Michael (CL 6), Adorned Nidia (CL 6), Adorned Samuel (CL 5), Adorned Chomish (CL 4), Adorned Zephyr (CL 4), Adorned Brady (CL 3)
Other members: 6 lay members
Fortress of Battle [Tempus]
Tempus' followers are made up of militiamen and bugbears. Once a month, a small army of bugbears 'invade' the city to worship at the fortress located on the Southern entrance to the town. Nobody minds, however, as the bugbears like spending money when in town, and have come to Threshold's defense many a time. The Order of the Steel Fang is a bugbear unit of Threshold that is fearless and often assigned to the most dangerous of combat duties.
Priests: Warmaster Gerred Thaskor (CL 6), Drek (F 4, CL 2 - bugbear)
Other members: 4 lay members
Shrine of the True [Torm]
This small shrine is attached to Helm's House. It is manned by a single elderly paladin.
Other members: Sir Mallory of Torm (Pal 5)
Great Library of Deneir [Deneir]
While Deneir boasts only a handful of worshippers in Valleydale, it does boast an impressive library. The library is the life's work of Thomas Gentry and rivals the libraries of great cities like Suzail and Waterdeep. It is visited often by scholars, researchers, adventurers and wizards, and as a result the library has flourished.
Leader: Librarian Thomas Gentry (Exp 6)
Other members: Librarian Elvis Smith (Wiz 3), Librarian Wilma Gentry (Exp 4)
