Description
The temple was founded less than 200 years ago by the Order of Hospitalers and was abandoned about 60 years ago. The most recent occupants are the Laguna-kin and their followers amongst the White Skull clan.
There is a small cemetary with opened graves out in front of the temple that Hugh determined was affected by some desecration or unhallowed effect. OTherwise, the exterior is in clear disrepair.
The focal point of the main room of the temple is a dry fountain and it is surrounded by cloisters and rooms. The cloisters are in disrepeair due to a sinkhole and there is a crack in the wall of one of the bedrooms leading to some tunnels below the temple.
The basement of the temple is warm, humid, and contains four massive, flowing fountains. There is a collapsed library with burned books and signs of recent orc activity.
The tunnels below the temple contain a well with bitter water, the source of the temple’s desecration, and a ritual table used for shamanistic orc magic. There is also a shattered, silver-framed mirror that is apparently used as a magical focus.
In the deeper tunnels, there are signs of repeated floods ending in a crypt with five tombs, each of which contained a journal of a mother superior from the Order of Hospitalers.
