Temple of Sardonyx

The Temple of Sardonyx is located on the far western side of Myste-Hass, close to the city's external wall. The temple building existed in the city prior to becoming the Temple of Sardonyx.

The temple has many snakes and snake-based iconography inside. There are many rooms and locked doors as well.

The temple has two heads of their clergy, the head priest, Seri, and the head priestess, Kenso.

Harbinger's Notes

The temple had a person who identified themselves as Morthel visit. He was a small man and he cast some spells. He was slender, a little over 4 1/2ft tall, stubbled with rough hair. His hair was black with grey streaks. He sought to do harm. He said he would have a place of dominance over Sardonyx and the other god. He did not say he wished to have dominance over Fate.

The individual took the holy symbol which the temple may hold dear because its magical. The symbol was a pendant with a black door with an outline of another door. It was chipped on one side.

The head priest and priestess retreated to a hided space for safety.

The adventurers noted that there was a table where the food had gone moldy. In the beds, there are three men beaten and then there throats cut. The men are naked and have been placed into their beds. Maolmhuire finds two cells, one empty and the other filled with blood.

The adventurers encountered a man with a bluish glow and glowing eyes.

There was a death jester creature. He said, ‘Have you heard about your fate yet -turns out you don’t have one.’ The jester took on the appearance of C'anis and then disappeared, leaving a little dust where it was before becoming a vapour in the air.

The jester had people captured and were using them to trick people who came into the temple. Visitors came to the temple, wishing to know more about Sardonyx. They talked and then threatened to kill Kenso if Seri they did not do what he wanted. The jester could use their power and all their knowledge by holding him.

Inside, the adventurers found a Magical Journal. Identification shows there are two, one is in our possession, and one elsewhere. The conversation within notes a discussion between two people about taking control of the Temple of Sardonyx. - ‘Have you taken the temple.’ ‘Yes, the vessel worked well’ ‘How are the priests?’ ‘He seems quite compliant at the moment.’
