The temple looms tall, casting a shadow over the rest of the encampment. Its stone walls are crumbling in parts, while the outer stone is covered in moss.
Within, the dark passage ways are dimly lit by use of candles. The candles themselves seem to never burn out - they may be lit by an enchantment of sorts. The central room is lightened through an expansive skylight carved into the roof above it.
Its center chamber is inscribed with a variety of runes and symbols. Several exquisitely detailed paintings line its walls, the majority of which depict some sort of magnificent dragon or visage of one of the human gods.
Following the pathways carving throughout the temple leads a person to either one of its civil offices, or its training area. The training room is one frequently occupied by the settlement's inhabitants; the monks maintain a strict physical routine for their practice of worship - this helps them to survive in such a wild environment.
