Cloud Temple of Anthos
|
|
The Cloud Temple of Anthos is the home of the monks in Anthos. Located far west on the mainland, it is one of the most powerful sources of magic in the realm. Those who are injured are taken to the Cloud Temple for healing by the monks.
Features
There are several notable features of the Cloud Temple area. The west side opens up to the ocean, while the east holds the gate to the Anthos Highway. Tall cliffs surround the rest of the area, making it difficult to sneak in.
Cloud Temple
Although the whole area is generally referred to as the Cloud Temple, there is really only one structure that can be called such. Upon being revived by the monks one will awaken there. Inside are the Well of Life and Pool of Death and Hall of Heroes. Outside but attached to the Cloud Temple are the beacons alongside monuments to Adam Higgs and Maeghan Sterling. These beacons can be seen across Anthos and serve to guide lost souls back to it. The beacons were moved when the temple fell.
Grounds
The grounds of the Cloud Temple area cover a good-sized area. Paths made mostly of wood wind through quiet birch tree forests. The monks work immense wheat farms, as well as an aviary for birds. There is a map of Anthos, archery range, and docks. The temple fell to an attack from the Harbingers, and moved from to the former 'GM' village
Library
The monks maintain a large library containing many volumes of books, tomes, scrolls and whatnot from throughout Anthos. Most can be read by the citizens of Anthos, while others are kept hidden away. This library is taught to be one of the reasons why the Harbingers attacked the temple grounds.
Monks
The monks of the Cloud Temple serve no nation and hold no political ties. They are tasked with saving those severely injured and healing their wounds, thus saving a large population of Anthos from death. Small populations of monks roam the land of Anthos, seeking those in need of aid. The magic of the monks allows for the healing of the most severe injuries, including missing limbs, burns, and decapitation.
