Ordo Concilium/Temples

The Ordo Concilium itself is an ancient religion dating back to the first ages of Dwilight, before the cataclysm that sunk the island so long ago. Because of this there are several holy sites and numerous temples scattered across Dwilight that bare homage to the Ordo. Unfortunately, due to the Cataclysm the religion had to be begun anew and many of the old locations lie in disuse.

Fortunately, though it may have been begun anew, it has secured itself an official place of prayer--Pantheon Temple in Port Nebel.

Phoenix Temple

The Phoenix Temple in Raviel, was the first temple to be built under the current generation of Wordbearers. It's design is simple, consisting only of the necessary structures to maintain the local Fidelus and train Patricii in the way of the Wordbearers. However, there was one resounding feature of this temple. Directly in the center of the temple grounds, a single ten story tower stood with a flame that is always kept burning at the top. It was said that this light can even be seen as far away as the Duke's residence in Port Raviel on clear nights. Because of it's importance to the Ordo, guardsmen were kept on hand should an emergency arise.

Unfortunately, it was closed by Wordbearer Zanaras in order to avoid it's costly destruction by the hands of D'Haran activists.

Pantheon Temple

The second and currently longest standing temple of the Ordo Concilium, the Pantheon Temple contains worship areas for all deities on the Concilium within it's small area. The building itself is laid out in a circular fashion, with a central meeting chamber at it's core. Smaller worship for each individual deity ring this on the outside of the building, alongside management areas and personal quarters. It was actually rebuilt once, after Duke Yoruk had it destroyed. The cost of it's reconstruction was however completely covered by the government of Shadovar.
