'''LOCATION:''' 25 miles north of the [[Fords of Gar]] in northern [[Brastor]]<br>

Currently the temple has been a rallying point for the Minions of Rashak who have survived her destruction.

=The Temple=

The temple resides at the bottom of a large excavation and only the first chamber is visible, the remainder of the temble dissapearing into the earth to the north.

The visible section resembles pyramid constructed of black obsidian with a high but narrow entryway. The entrance is 30 ft high and 5 feet wide and surrounded by ornate Runes in a [[Dragons|Draconic]] script.

==The Guardians==
===The Entryway===
Through the entryway there are two statues of Dragons in alcoves, recessed so that they are not visible from outside the temple.

Previous Guild parties have discovered that these guardians will trigger if anyone who is 'Evil' crosses the boundary. The definition of Evil was not completely assertained but predates the existance of the Powers of [[Powers of Light|Light]] or [[Powers of Darkness|Darkness]] and appears to be based on some moral judgement, possibly that of the [[Dragons|Dragon]] [[Roche]].

The effect of the guardians attack was witnessed when a Stone Golem tried to enter the temple. Two bolts of lightning eminated from the Dragons and destroyed the golem.

===The First Chamber===

Through an archway with the same dimentions as the entrance to the complex is a large room, within this room is a statue 60ft high with glowing eyes. The statue is that of a Dragon with it's wings fully extended. This guardian appears to trigger on blessings, curses and items of evil or malign construction or intent.

A ball of flame eminates from the mouth of the dragon over anyone who enters the room. blessings and curses are stripped from the entity and no resitance has been noted by any who have witnessed this.
Items deemed evil or malign are stripped from the user and have been found later in an antichamber off the main hall. Any entry from any direction triggers this flame.

===The Chamber of Secrets===

This chamber has an as yet untriggered Guardian that triggers on the ability of the entity to speak Drow. No investigation has been performed to determine what rank triggers this Guardian. But those who comprehend the language due to abilities in related tongues were unaffected.

==The items==

A number of items were found in the temple, few were divinated and none were recovered due to the inherent nature of them. A few of the items are listed below as an indication.

===The Antichamber===

;Eye gouge of Living Memory
