The Holy Isle of Neos is one of the three sacred sites of the world, along with [[Maella Abbey]] and [[Savella Cathedral]]. Its most notable landmark is the enormous statue of the Goddess located there, where people from all over come to pray in Her presence.<ref>'''Templar''': "You can only enter the shrine to pray at New Year, or when special events are taking place. The likes of High Priest Rolo and Abbot Marcello are allowed in at any time of course. But that's because of their status in the church."</ref>The origins of the island date back to the age of mythology after the Godbird [[Empyrea]] after the world. A lone monk traveled to the isle and discovered the image of the Goddess perfectly carved into the rock face and declared it to be a holy site. It is unknown whether the statue always looked like that or if it was sculpted by someone.<ref>'''{{NPC}} in town''': "The origins of the Holy Isle of Neos go all the way back to the era of mythology. When this island was just a nameless rock in the sea. After the Godbird [[Empyrea]] saved the world, a lone monk visited here. When he saw the image of the [[Goddess]] so clearly defined in the rock-face, he proclaimed Neos to be a holy land. No one knows whether it looked like this from the beginning, or if the statue was shaped by the hand of a master sculptor as some say. Either way, this is sacred territory now. Wouldn't you agree, my friend?"</ref> According to [[Angelo]], only royalty and the aristocracy are actually allowed to get close to shrine in front of the statue itself and it is where the Lord High Priest of the clergy is coronated. <ref>'''[[Angelo]]''': "Have you heard? The general public aren't allowed to pray to the Goddess statue for salvation. Only royals and aristocracy have permission to go inside and pray directly to Her. I suppose their kind need more salvation than common folk!"</ref> A pair of Templar knight guards are posted in order to keep anyone from getting closer to the statue.
