Because I'm very, very lonely, damn it. Somebody get in here and post something!

If you're asking if rogues can join, yes any class can join any temple but without levels in a "sanctioned" class your advancement will stop at getting the faction item, so no cool planar guards. If you're asking if rogues can break in, I'm really not sure if faction areas are plot specific keyed or not.

Any Class can reach Lay Member rank, and Lay Member rank is all you need to access a temple's "Members Only" areas. So it's all good, I reckon.
I wonder what bodyguard Corella's going to get once she hits the Clergy ranks. I bet it's a slaad. Slaadi always bring the party. I forget if Tristella's pet was a succubus or an erinyes after she reached Clergy rank with Loviatar's Manor, but it was a nice pet. :)

They are. Some of my characters have tried to break into Talona's temple via the Southeast Bezantur Sewers entrance (Corella by picking the locks, Wyren by Knock spells, and Vespera and Zelis by breaking the doors down); You can get through the sewer door (which isn't key-specific), but once you get up into that hallway, every other door to Talona's temple is key-specific. Talona's little plague rats guard their secrets well. :P
Leira's temple is even more secure. There aren't any doors between the Members Only areas, just a bunch of mist objects that you click on. If you're a ranking member of the temple, the mists teleport you; if you're not, the mists don't do anything. So the good news is that no stealthy, invisible rogue-types can follow you in through an opened door. The bad news, as I was lamenting to Karilynn, is that the mists won't let you invite any guests in. Remember way back during the server's last incarnation, when Tristella honored Melody Singer's request and gave her the grand tour of Loviatar's Manor? Corella couldn't do that. But Leirans are a pretty secretive bunch, and their temple's not all that big and lavish anyway. So I guess it's okay.
Their temple does have a nice library with a very nice message board, though. Very, very nice. ;)
Ooh, here's something for your next "How Much Do You Know about Thay?" quiz: Out of all the temples in Thay, which is the only one with a message board that is accessible to the public?
RE: Why Join the Temple of Leira? - DarkRanger - 02-22-2015
I should know this one but not 100% sure. Is it Tempus in Gauros?
RE: Why Join the Temple of Leira? - Wids - 02-22-2015
Nah. That temple has a bit of a layout, but I never could find a public message board there.
(It's not the Cathedral of the Dead in Pyarados, either. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you can see through the walls and see their message board. But you still can't get to it.)
RE: Why Join the Temple of Leira? - DarkRanger - 02-22-2015
Grr, is it Mask in Bezantur?
RE: Why Join the Temple of Leira? - Wids - 02-22-2015
No, but you're close. ;)
RE: Why Join the Temple of Leira? - MoreThanThree - 02-23-2015
It's clearly Shar.
