High Temple of Tagrimus

The High Temple of Tagrimus was one of the High Temples of the Creed of the Five Gods, located in the city of Stoneshade within Blackwall Hold. The tower was destroyed after multiple explosions in the Battle for Stoneshade.

Being one of the High Temples, the Temple of Tagrimus is one of the major religious sites in the Creed. It is the political and economic home of the Creed in the region, and puts on the largest services for the public in the hold. Moreover, it is the training center for the training of Druids in the Creed, as well as their home. Initiates spend two years of training at the facility to become Druids and devote their life for the gods.

The High Temple is home to the Archon Plexipus, considered to be the modern personification of the god Tagrimus. The Temple is built in honor specifically of Tagrimus, the god of death, economy, mountains, and the patron god of Blackwall Hold. However, devotees of the creed worship all five of the gods equally.

Behind closed doors, the Temple is also a secret center of the Order of Acolytes, an ancient secret order of militarily-trained druids which serve as agents for the Archon.

Destruction
In the Battle for Stoneshade, Tyrusz led a detachment of his forces to assault the tower in an attempt to kill Archon Plexipus and his followers. Meanwhile, the city was under siege by Mikael Asterius' forces. While the Chasm did battle with the Acolytes within the tower, the structure was bombarded by explosive rounds from Asterius' trebuchets. The tower was decimated in the battle, and collapsed for good after a bomb was set off by Tyrusz from within the temple.
