Located in a box canyon on the western flank of the Badcrag Mountains, this Orcish temple was renowned as one of the most sacred sites in ancient times. It is built on and amongst various volcanic elements. |

In addition, historically, it was the site chosen by Alluria the Huntress to attack and sack in retribution for the attacks on Kithkaira. However, the orcs engaged and defeated the force led by Alluria, killing her and much of her host in the process. The remnants of Alluria's army, led by her lieutenant Galathi, gained access to the temple at the very end, sealing the temple and preserving Alluria's dead body inside.

Separated from the flow of time since early in the seventh age, the barrier surrounding the temple has only recently been breached, allowing the inhabitants to reintegrate into the world. The body of Alluria - located in the temple for hundreds of years - no longer rests within.
During the summer of 163 AFE, orcish priests emerged from the previously unknown temple and demanded that the Orcish tribes swear obedience to ancient traditions which granted them sole authority over the tribes. In conjunction with the emergence of these priests, volcanos in the Badcrag Mountains began to smoke and rumble, the most notable instance being a minor eruption of a volcano within a dozen miles of the temple that belched forth large plumes of smoke and ash.
