High Temple Complex (3e)
Featuring more than 150 rooms at ground level the High Temple is closer to a citadel than a temple. The massive complex features a large ziggurat and a detached chapel. Inside the temple there are large inner gardens and many shrines and chapels. A wall surrounds the whole complex¸ with many stairs reaching its top. The wall is not intended as a defense (there are no gates). There are three levels (ground¸ first and roof level) and a dungeon level. Some hints to use the complex follow:
- An evil cult stronghold¸ home of the high priest and his evil clergy who perform obscene rituals and human sacrifices
- A forgotten temple citadel¸ lost in a deep jungle¸ now inhabited by lizardfolks and other reptiles races
- A ruined temple complex dedicated to a forgotten evil deity. During the night¸ evil sacrifices are performed
- The home of a good priest-king. The complex houses the noble families and their slaves
- Temple of the Dragon God: a powerful schemer dragon hides in the dungeon of the complex. His minions roam the countryside
