Dragonwilds:Temple of Saradomin

The Temple of Dragonwilds:Saradomin serves as the starting point for adventurers in Dragonwilds:Ashenfall and stands as one of the few remaining structures from the region's past. Located in the Dragonwilds:Temple Woods in the southeast of the Dragonwilds:Map, the Temple serves as the starting point for new adventurers in Ashenfall. Here, they are greeted by the Dragonwilds:Wise Old Man who introduces them to the dangers and opportunities of the continent. New arrivals are instructed to speak with the Wise Old Man in the Temple as part of their Dragonwilds:First Steps in exploring this mysterious land.

History

The Temple of Saradomin was established during the Third Age, a time when the rest of the world was engulfed in the God Wars. Followers of Saradomin arrived on the continent and established a small settlement at the peak of a cliff. From this vantage point, the expedition could gaze both back toward their former homes across the water and down toward Bramblemead, the settlement they would establish (Sic, this appears to be a contradiction as there had to have been a village there for them to "integrate" with to start with, whether unnamed or Bramblemead). Over time, as the followers of Saradomin integrated with the villagers of Bramblemead, they began to establish more permanent structures.

Built to Last

As time passed, the tents gave way to the large stone foundations of the temple. The Temple was built to overlook all of Dragonwilds:Brynmoor, with stained glass windows that once caught the sunlight and served as a beacon to the villagers below. Unlike the structures that preceded it in the region, the Temple was constructed of stone rather than wood, providing more comfort to those who dwelled within. As one priest noted in their journals, they had hoped for "a nice church made of stone, not wood" to preach the blessed teachings of Saradomin.

Present day

The temple still stands, its lofty windows and exterior largely undamaged by the passage of time, save for the odd vine or sapling. This is supposedly because it has been protected by lingering priestly magic that keeps more dangerous elements at bay. Though the interior has begun to collapse, leaving a gaping space where the ground floor was and allowing direct access to what once was the basement.
