Akesh Temple is a breathtakingly beautiful region of mountains, lakes, swift rivers and small fertile valleys, situated in the Akesh Mountains on the East Island. The Akesh Stronghold is a series of fortifications that guard every mountain pass into the area.

The region takes its name from the temple of the Warrior/Healer Monks of Akesh, once located there, but long since disbanded. This region is the source of the Bescanon River. It has long been a center of religion and through the years has flown the banners of many nations. Coimbra, Caligus, Fontan, Light of Fountain, Perdan and Sirion. Currently the region is held by Sirion, and in elvish, the place is called Minas Aira (The Holy Tower).

The region has been the place of worship for many different faiths. It is studded with shrines and temples, most ruined, but some still in use. Currently the greatest temple is that of the elvish Church of the Holy Sacred Grove. Once this elvish temple was dedicated to the dread Emolris, Mistress of Fire, and her high tower challenged the heights and oversaw the continent with a burning eye that never slept. But now the temple has been rededicated to Astal, Patron of Heroes, Discipline, Duty, Honour, and War. The temple tower now glows with a clear, pure light.
