Reliquary of Jamboor
The Reliquary is high in the foothills of the Rampart Mountains, but there is an excellent dirt road leading to the heights where the Reliquary is found. It is a massive fortress built into the side of a cliff, looking almost as if the sheer rock face had suffered an avalanche of carved stone walls and buildings.
The fortress houses a large temple-complex to Jamboor, “He Who Hears the Secrets of the Dead,” Hyperborean god of knowledge, magic, and death. The complex includes the main temple, a library, an academy of magecraft, and extensive burial catacombs in the depths of the cliff behind the cascade of buildings. It is the most significant temple to the god in the Borderland Provinces, and the high reliquarian oversees the church’s activities in the Rampart, Vourdon, Suilley, Keston, Toullen, Exeter, the Gaelon River Valley, Eastreach, and the Amrin Estuary.
The Reliquary is also the center of a considerable intelligence-gathering operation monitored by another high official who bears the title of “high excriptor.” The high reliquarian is considered senior to the high excriptor, but both are selected based on omens direct from the god: the excriptor’s role is more of an independent advisor to the reliquarian than a subordinate.
