In general, the temple contains a quiet and secluded atmosphere. Temple clergy are welcoming to strangers and curious to know more of them, but are not particularly warm and friendly. Those that wish to keep to themselves are not bothered. White Rod monks that happen to be seen rarely interact, a dutiful look and step carry them through their chores. Anyone coming to the temple looking for information of other visitors would quickly learn that unless the subject is well known, such as Zodika, there is no information to be passed on. The identity of those who visit are kept private.
The small study and office are public for those who wish to quietly use them. Anyone becoming disruptive would quickly find their welcomed stay coming to an end with an eventual (unspoken and vague) threat of violence should they refuse to leave.
The infirmary, while public, only accepts patients in uncommon circumstances. Locals who "require aid to avoid immediate death" would be stabilized as a duty to Valkur's Roar, or someone with an illness unable to be diagnosed or treated (as the temple would do the service for the chance to learn from it for their own benefit). Outsiders in such a condition would be treated if they were faithful otherwise something would be expected as compensation - from tithes to geases. Only those willing to make large contributions to the church and/or temple would find any aid in non-life-threatening situations. The only time this generality changes is in emergencies - plague, war, etc. During those times, the temple, while still preferring to aid the most critical of injuries (and only treating as much as is required for the person to be "okay"), would be more accommodating. The temple does, however, offer unique healing equipment for adventurers.
