Temple of War

I am the Weapon...

Born in War and tempered in Blood
I will purge the world of pacifism
Desolation and carnage are my voice
I embrace neither good nor evil
An enigma to the lands
I oppose all who seek the veil of peace
The precepts of kindness and mercy unknown to me
I am the beginning and the end
Forger of Empires and Conqueror of Lands
I embrace my future death with blade in hand
The archives of history tremble at my name
I am an Aegean

Brutality Incarnate and War Eternal!

The Temple of War is home to Lord Aegis, the God of War. It is located in the southwest section of the Siroccian Mountains.

A wide bridge spans the gap between two mountains, leading to a series of pillars, each representing a particular ideal:

• The Pillar of Brutality, where a statue of Lord Valor stands.
• The Pillar of Desolation, where a statue of Ekary Lucoster, the Sinistar, founder of the Infernal Knights, keeps vigil.
• The Pillar of Vigilance, where a statue depicting the Aegean warlord Mortifer Merre stands, his tail curled around the base.
• The Pillar of Loyalty, where a statue of Warlord Sylence Ikari looms over passing worshippers.

Flanking the pillars are a stone pyramid, a sacrificial pit, a seige workshop, and a combat training room.

This area is linked to the archer-lined fortress of the Aegean Keep via a large, steel drawbridge. From here one may choose to climb up for a view from the parapets to the towering gardens, home of the Eileithyian Tree, or explore further into the Aegean Manor which accommodates many rooms, among them an archives and two chapels.
