Hallowed Bastion
Pelor's Respite
After the War of the Gods, it is believed that Pelor stopped on this site to rest from his "grievous injury" sustained in his confrontation with Vecna on what is now the Worldskar. On the spot where it is believed that Pelor rested, an enormous temple to Pelor was erected which remains the seat of The Messengers of the Golden God's leadership.
Quite a way to fall... circa 1380
During the events of the Wayfaring Strangers campaign, it was discovered that the religion devoted to Pelor had been infiltrated at the highest levels by fallen celestials, who were attempting to find an anchor under Kord's temple in the Hallowed Bastion. The party put an end to the plot, but discovered that the 2nd anchor didn't exist in this city. Kord's temple had been built atop another temple dedicated to the Hand of Vecna. Historically, this is common practice for the worshippers of Kord after conquering a foe.
