The Temple of Tempus in Easthaven is a shrine dedicated to Tempus, the god of war.
Description[]
The temple is built on top of Jerrod's Stone, the grave of Jerrod, which is considered a holy site by followers of Tempus.
(But the entrance to that room, which is between the horse statues, is off-limits due to wards made by the Battle Lord himself. Even Everard doesn't know how to break them.)
Furthermore, the temple stores and showcases historic weapons and armor.
The resident head priest is Everard, who is supported by initiate Accalia.
Services[]
Much can be learned about Tempus, Jerrod, and the church by talking to Everard and Accalia. Furthermore, Everard provides temple services.

In clock-wise order, starting with the warhammer:
- Bonecracker:
| “ | This huge warhammer looks as if it would take the combined strength of two men to wield it. It's thick, steel head is bound with studded bronze bands and is speckled what appears to be dried blood. The inscription upon its stand reads: "Bonecracker. This magnificent weapon belonged to the legendary warrior Dumok the Fist, who died in the assault on Dragonspear Castle[1]." | ” |
- Bloody Ashrem's Axe:
| “ | The blade of this axe is buried deep winto the stand upon which it rests. Hundreds of tiny notches have been whittled into its black, oaken handle. The inscription upon its stand reads: "Bloody Ashrem's Axe. This merciless warlord reputedly used this axe to personally execute his prisoners. He was eventually brutally dismembered by his own troops." | ” |
- Shield of Maergeth:
| “ | This is a round shield with a number of wicked barbs protuding from its surface. A flaming sword, the holy symbol of Tempus, has been etched into the center of the shield. The inscription upon its stand reads: "The Shield of Maergeth of the Order of the Steel Fang, slain upon the eleventh day of the battle Boareskyr Bridge[2]." | ” |
- Golden Lance of Kedwyr:
| “ | This long and slender lance is of astonishing quality and workmanship. The entire length of it appears to have been coated in gold and its handle is inlaid with various precious gems. The inscription upon its stand reads: "The Golden Lance of Kedwyr. Heralded as the greatest horseman to ever ride into battle, Kedwyr died gloriously upon the fields of Dead [3], alongside his trusted charger, Onyx." | ” |
- Shield of Aihonen:
| “ | This is a large shield with the symbol of a white sword emblazoned upon its surface. Numerous dents and scatches indicate this shield has seen many battles. The inscription upon its stand reads: "The Shield of Aihonen. A veteran of many battles against the Uthgardt barbarians, Ahoinen was slain whilst battling a white dragon matriarch upon the waves of Lac Dinneshere. His body and his blade were never recoverd." | ” |
- Helm of Ghardumm Greenaxe:
| “ | This battered, steel helmet is crested with the five serpentine heads of a hydra. The inscription upon its stand reads: "The Helm of Ghardumm Greenaxe. Ghardumm was the captain of the famed adventuring company, the Dragonclaw Clan. The fate of this legendary swordsman is a mystery, though he is presumed to be dead. He was last seen entering the Marsh of Tun[4], alone." | ” |
