A pre-Alexandrian, cathedral-sized temple in the northern reaches of the Wydmoor Swamp. The temple is believed to be the temple of Moyria that was destroyed and cursed by Marwyn Teldandillion in the Prophet's War. It is current the home of the Azure Geese and their leader the Lady Astlen Mead, along with a couple hundred refugees of Wydmoor. The encampment supports a primitive economy with an operational marketplace, a few vendors, and an operational forge.
Construction
Structurally, the temple has three walls that remain structurally secure in spite of its tremendous age. The fourth wall, built over the river and housing a dry dock, was more fragile construction and is breached. The temple's two floors house a handful of important offices, the distillery, and the kitchen, while the upstairs serve as living quarters. The forge and markets are just outside the wall.
The temple houses an eerie reminder of it's history: a glassteel dome that encases an oak-sized weeping willow and a noose in a perpetual spring. This side held the spirit of one of Adrillathellior Teldandilion, who Marwyn was not able to destroy due to an ancient Elven pact. Instead, she trapped him forever in the dome, and he took his own life only to rise as a vengeful banshee. He was destroyed by the Silverwalkers, and they carry his shield and armor to this day. Since the destruction of the spectral elf, the inside of the dome has changed to a scene of misty and eternal winter, the great willow remains, as a lifeless reminder of what once was.
Notable People
The new leader for the Azure Geese is the Lady Astlen Mead, who was a lieutenant of Germain before he died in the Siege of Wydmoor. She is a confident, stern, and militaristic noble woman who is intent on retaking Wydmoor and establishing herself and her family to power. There are a number of Riddermark Family clients among the refugees as soldiers or as distillers in the Temple's operations.
A number of notable Geese remain at the temple with permanent responsibilities. Uldern Garrolea maintains the city's forge and blacksmithing operations, Sena Essa handles the dogs and scouting operations, Honel Oedi acts as the sheriff, Edar Drace operates a small clinic, Bernis Dar is the distiller, and Jako Callannan is the chief merchant.
Recent Activity

Originally it was fully of silver and treasure, but the Silverwalkers gradually looted the temple and slaughtered orc at this site over many visits. The Temple was home for a while to the Lizardfolk of Wydmoor swamp, but they have left because it makes them uncomfortable.
Members of the Azure Geese have been operating outside the Wydmoor area. Notably Uldern Garrolea has been in the Bandit Kingdoms working with, along with a brusque bookkeeper. Also, an old crone works with the [[, who have recently arrived at the site.
