Temple of Hadwin
A small amount of distance off to the west of Ederra lies the high Temple of Hadwin, the god of war and violence. The temple sits seemingly upon its own mountain, both sides of it a sheer drop of a cliff. There is only one way up and down, which is a treacherous path that warriors and followers of Hadwin alike hike, to pray to the notorious god of warcraft. The temple itself is a mixture of castle and ruin, with large dragon sentinels, built in blackstone, surrounding the main courtyard and the central chapel. Inside, the floors of the temple are marble white, with streaks of ruby in a tribal warpaint pattern. The chapel is empty save a single whitestone dragon altar on a raised dais at the back of the room, similar to a throne. This is where sacrifices and offerings are made by priests and warriors for Hadwin's favor. The priests of Hadwin are a prestigious group of warriors who wear robes of red (except the High Priest who wears all white) and raise some of the finest horses in the land.
