If it was just one, I'd suggest family heirloom of some sort. But a couple of these ramshackle houses do. There isn't even a chantry around; surely they could build or convert one if something happened to it.
[They could do it without the money from selling off fancy pretty glass. And it isn't the fact that there's no official chantry building here that bothers him, small as this place is. That someone preaches out of their home casually enough is no surprise. But he's gotten the impression that there was one, before, that Sisters were here doing their duty and--and then what? Did something happen, did someone chase them off?
Knowing why they're here, what this mission is about, means he doesn't like the possibilities that spring to mind.]
Some attempt at a ward, maybe. Or a symbol of something. [Just guesses. It would normally mean nothing to him if it wasn't for the fact that all these little things are piling up out of place.] These people are scared and isolated. Perfect for someone or something to take control.
