11 Overview

33 The Church of Hernand is a Solumen Order church located in the City of Hernand and operated under the Hernandian Parish of Solumen. It is a gathering place for priests dedicated to charitable acts and spiritual guidance, most notably the regular distribution of bread to residents of the nearby slums and hovels. Beyond its religious role, the church functions as an important waypoint for travelers, offering access to a vendor, a Confessional, and a key item required for a major Chapter 3 main story quest.

88 The Church of Hernand sits on the eastern side of the City of Hernand, near both Hillside Manor and Hernand Castle. Its position makes it one of the first landmarks most travelers pass when approaching the upper city from the commercial districts. The building's front doors lead into the main hall, while a side door opens into the Confessional where the priest and vendor Alfred conducts his duties.

1212 The church is one of five holy sites controlled by the Hernandian Parish of Solumen, alongside the Church of Calphade, Church of Vellua, the village of Senia, and Deepwoods. The Hernandian Parish was founded as an independent religious order intended to bridge the historic tensions between Hernand and Demeniss, uniting their shared Solumen faith above regional politics. Believers from both territories attend services here on Sundays. As a faction-controlled site, the Church of Hernand can be subject to faction blockades by hostile forces and may offer community-oriented assistance quests to players.

2424  
2525 The St. Halssius Visitor Pass is a key item sold exclusively by Alfred at the Confessional for 10 Silver. Its in-game description calls it a costly visitor pass with limited use, but in practice the pass lets Kliff pass the guards at the House of Healing gate freely, even on repeat visits. Presenting it at the main gate of the House of Healing (sometimes called Halssius's House of Healing) allows the player to walk in without confrontation.

2727 It is the most straightforward of three entry methods to the monastery, the others being sneaking across the rooftops through an open window or purchasing the St. Halssius Priest Outfit from a bribable guard outside the building for another 10 Silver.

4040 Donation Box and Regional Blessings
4141  
4242 Inside the Church of Hernand is a donation box that works the same way as the church donation boxes in Demeniss, Delesyia, and other major settlements. Depositing silver into the Hernand box raises the Hernand region's blessing level, which starts at zero and climbs past nine with repeated donations. Each blessing level is a permanent bonus that affects every dispatch mission run in the Hernand region for the rest of the playthrough.
4343  
4444 The Hernand blessing stacks with the other dispatch multipliers: the comrade bonus (capped at 40 percent), the skill bonus (capped at 100 percent), and the camp's armory conversion rate. The blessing itself has no known hard ceiling, which makes it one of the highest-leverage silver sinks in the mid game. A single 50,000 silver donation can add several blessing levels at once early on, and the gains stay meaningful well past level nine.

4646 Because the blessing is region-specific, it only boosts dispatch missions run out of the Hernand region, such as the repeatable Hillside Manor estate security and the early escort and harvest rotations. Silver donated here does not help dispatches in Demeniss or Delesyia; for those regions, use the donation box inside their respective churches. Demeniss is the strongest region for gold yield and Delesyia is the strongest for equipment, but the Hernand donation box is the first one Kliff will encounter, so donating here early pays off over the entire Hernand dispatch economy. See Dispatch Missions and Camp Expansion Guide for the full blessing and bonus math.

4848 Donation tips: Donate in large chunks (around 50,000 silver at a time) to avoid any per-deposit diminishing returns and to get multiple blessing levels in a single interaction. Check the mission bonus panel before and after a donation to see the conversion percentage move. Keep silver flowing by running repeatable escort dispatches, then funnel the profits right back into the donation box to build a self-sustaining cycle.
