Child-God of the Violet Temple
 |
Nestled amid the round-topped dunes of the Endless Desert lies ancient Ahlamabad¸ the City of Wonders¸ the Jeweled Throne of Heaven. You are a thief - one of the best in the ranks of the Zhentarim - and you've been invited to prove yourself by attempting one of the most important and dangerous missions yet attempted by the shadowy cabal.
Your team's objective: to kidnap an infant child from the depths of the Violet Temple¸ seat of power for the tyrannical Church of Uzzal. But blindly forcing your way into the church's most fortified keep will only result in your death or worse - lethal guards¸ weird beasts¸ unusual traps¸ and undead sentinels all await in the temple's hallways¸ not to mention the plague that's rumored to infest the poor souls who dwell within.
To succeed in your missions¸ preparation is crucial - explore the city's many colorful districts¸ question the fascinating locals¸ and pursue detailed side quests to learn the temple's secrets and ready yourself against them. But be quick about it: you have one week to produce the child¸ or you risk becoming the Zhentarim's next target.
