Like most Morgathic Temples this is grim and severe covered with detailed caving of skeletons and demons. However many of the statues are inlaid with Gold and set with Gems. No thief is known to have so much as touched these treasures.
The common folk report at night the shrine is haunted by a range of terrifying spectral figures. This is particularly evident around the 13th of the month.
