The Temple Ruins are the ruins of a forgotten Amaunator temple, now infested by shadows.

Layout[]

In the extreme northwest corner (135.425) an unnamed Shadow Thief is dying, and with a last breath cries out, "Please... death... too many... aaaagh...." Check the body to discover the thief's name, in Lellyn's Journal, which also contains other important clues about what happened to Mazzy Fentan's group.

Just east of Lellyn is the Wolf Cave (marked on the player's map), which is the lair of the Werewolf leader Anath.

Exploring the rest of the woods you find many Shadows, Shadow Fiends, Shade Wolves, and Greater Shade Wolves. The northeast quadrant is where the majority of the Shadows and Fiends are located, just outside of a "Dungeon Entrance" as marked on the player's map. Just outside the entrance are several points of interest for the party to investigate.

  • An Empty Fountain: "This fountain is filled with a dark, thick liquid that reeks of death and decay."
  • A Glowing Stone: "This gem burns with an inner light that is faint but noticeable. It seems that this, too, has been affected by the darkness that infects this land."
  • A Ruined Window: "The polished glass of this ruined window catches some of the weak light that the darkened gem puts forth. You could arrange the pan in such a manner that it would reflect all of the light if you so wish."
  • A Stone Well: "The edges of this pit are scratched and torn, as if some large creature has moved through here recently. The darkness of the pit is a black so deep it strains your eyes just to see it."

Stairs down from the Dungeon Entrance lead to the Ruined Temple.

Restored Wilderness[]

After the Shade Lord and Shadow Altar have been killed, the area becomes clear of all undead. Instead of Shade Wolves, Wild Dogs can be found. Instead of Shadows and Shadow Fiends, Wild Tigers, Spotted Lions, and Bears roam the woods.
