New page

The Dawnspire is a large temple complex devoted to [[Tor Elan]]. It serves as the heart of the [[Breath of the Sun]], a militant religious faction devoted to the Sun Lord in his aspect as Lord of Battle. It is located 6 miles to the north of [[Lyodnoir]], up a steep and unforgiving path. As such, it is extremely defensible but hard to resupply.

==History==
Construction began on the Dawnspire's main temple in 198 AC. When the [[Breath of the Sun]] was officially founded in 201 AC, it quickly became the headquarters of that organization. Construction on the main spire finished in 215 AC; the entire complex was in its current form by 221 AC. Recently, as the spire has started to reach its full capacity and the [[Breath of the Son]] gain political power, talk has arisen of constructing a new temple closer to [[Lyodnoir]] to serve as the center of the secular arm, leaving the [[Dawnspire]] as a primarily training and ritual site.

==Layout==
The Dawnspire is a walled complex of forges, houses, training facilities (both indoor and outdoor, including all forms of combat), and sacred spaces. The main temple rises 160 feet to a pinnacle where the high-ranking members of the Ecclesia conduct their holiest rites.

The temple is also a weapon production facility for the associated organization as well as providing specialist crafting for the Wyrmhold military and Lyodnoir guard, with several forge and repair facilities staffed by both expert craftsmen and goblin-made automatons providing brute labor. Houses are small and simple--the [[Breath of the Sun]] is an ascetic organization.

Buried under the main temple and sealed to outsiders is the Occularium, a cloister where the Shrouded Sages spend their time in arcane research, scrying, and information collation. Only the sages and cardinals (as well as the Praeceptor and Ecclesiarch) are allowed entry. Food and other supplies are lowered in on lifts staffed by automatons.
