Le Vieux Temple

Purpose / Function

Not far from the Word of Faith stands a much older site of worship. This nameless temple is a stark contrast to the struggling mission. It dates back to Haistand’s founding, representing the native religion. If the Auran’s command of low gothic was not evidence enough that they must once have been under the Imperium’s banner, the tribal altar erases any doubt. The frieze above the entrance features a weathered line of carved warriors. The spacing suggests that once the figures numbered twenty, although two of them have been defaced into only vague outlines. The warriors bear such distinctive features as a cyclopean eye on one and wings on another. If the Battle-Brothers enter the temple, they see a dozen or so Aurans in quiet prayer, with no apparent priest. One wall displays a well-maintained mural of a golden hero wrestling a four-headed dragon.
