Siakāsore

In Common the name translates to "Last Stand Temple"

Demographics

The same mix of folk that would be in any Kahosh community can be found here. The odd thing is a larger population of Tieflings compared to the average for Kahosh. It is said some families have birthed a Tiefling child even without any prior familial ties to Tieflings.

Industry & Trade

A large amount of the income generated here is from supporting the pilgrims that are making the trip to see Togimo's final resting place in the temple at the top of the ridge. There is also a fur trade, but it is to a lesser extent than the appeal of the pilgrimage.

Assets

There are two prominent establishments well known to those who travel through, the inn Nel a āb Nodu, and the butcher's shop Set Poh.

History

The temple itself was here long before the village grew around it and below it. It was in this temple that it is said Togimo laid down his life sealing away the last devil of the Old Kingdom. The sarcophagus that bears his name has never been reopend since it was made, so it is assumed that he was interred inside.

Points of interest

Not far from the temple ridge, there is an abandoned mine that had been converted to a dungeon in the final days of the Old Kingdom. It is rumored that you can still hear the wails of those who were tortured inside on certain auspicious nights.

Tourism

The journey isn't easy, so not everyone who takes the pilgrimage following Togimo's path end it there and instead end it at Hermi. The temple stands well above five thousand feet above sea level, and the village isn't that far below it. Combine that with the treacherous rocky terrain it takes a devout pilgrim to finish the trek.

Geography

The village and temple sit along a mountain ridge high in the mountains, steep cliffs and rocky slopes give dramatic views to those who live and visit here.
