Temple of The Silver Key

[JMiskimen]

Scattered across The Desert of Graves northward toward The Thok Ridge of the Border Mountains are Shrines and Sanctuaries of The Ancient One; a sect dedicated to perfecting and aligning body, mind, and spirit to the teachings of the occult teachings of an celebrated figure referred to as The Ancient One. These serene monks, though rarely encountered outside their sequestered hall, The Temple of The Silver Key, are easily recognized in civilization by their gold trimmed maroon cloaks and silver hooked swords brandished at elaborately tied sashes. Devotees of the Temples are quietly rumored to possess weird powers of the mind unlocked by teachings of He Most Ancient.

Silver Key followers have been known to occasionally rescue those lost in the Desert of Graves and to aid those in dire conflict with outer-born beings of chaos as well as overbearing eldritch forces of order; though the mundane affairs of men are largely dismissed. However, those seeking strange and obscure knowledge might be best served to quest for one of these hidden temples and supplicate themselves at the silvery stairway to enlightenment.
