The Temple Of Tionscail

[Charon Guiding, Shale Resting, Cycles Watching]
Sunday (Evening)
At the bottom of the first flight of stairs Carraig turned on a light switch. Slowly and shakily the level was illuminated.
They faced a set of double doors.
The doors were decorated with the symbols of Tionscail.
In the corners of each door were the symbols of Ealionn, Draiocht, Caomhnu and Fileadh.
Also represented were Tine, Cre, and Aisneis.
All the symbols were easily identified but were ancient versions and clearly not the modern Church of The Moon versions.
The doors were of gold with Adamantine, Mithral, platinum and Kellum decorations. They were forty feet tall and each was fifteen feet wide. They were incredibly heavy. Carraig moved them with ease. They glided quietly as they opened. A sign of careful maintenance or preservation magic.
A couple of Antechambers later they were in the Temple of Tionscail.
A massive adamantine golem of Tionscail dominated the Temple.
Also of interest were, the forge of fire, the warforged creation tables, the sub temples to other gods.
The thousands of items crafted to perfection. The hundreds of carved tunnels all filled to the brim with art and other items from the Temple.
The corpses of warforged artists and craftsmen lying about the room. The expression of rage on Tionscail's face.
The tapestry of Talamh
A tapestry that was woven for over 10,000 years by the warforged clerics of Tionscail and Aisneis, from visions sent to them by their Gods.
The tapestry was over three miles long and stored on enormous spindles in purpose built corridors.
Upon it was the entire history of Talamh, from The Great to The Godswar, from The Chain Gate to the Unification of the Church of The Moons.
The tale of The Company of Wolves and The Edge of Reason also were told.
The secret of The Metarex quest was also told and how High Feeder Lord Teth Cromith XIV managed to escape the oblivion of the Metarex and trail the last Scion of Teth Cthan to Bigany. The Tapestry shows that Teth Cromith XIV and The Prince of Schliss killed the Warforged. Tanner and Ivellios swear revenge and Tionscail accepts their oath. His symbol is burnt into their foreheads. It will remain for a year and a day.
Tin Tan wasn't particularly interested in either Tionscail or humanoid affairs. He was too busy rejoicing in the power of Tine, the only God worth bothering with. Tin Tan drank deeply of the fiery liquids and molten metals of Tine's forge fire. The incredible heat would have incinerated a normal rat in seconds, but to Tin Tan this was the finest meal he had ever consumed. And he gave exultant praise to Tine. Then changes then began to occur within Tin Tan and the temperature of his body increased dramatically as Tine's Forge Fires took hold within him. He began to glow. From that day forth Tin Tan's flames were greater and hotter than any other of his kind. This came as no surprise to Tin Tan, being the best character in the village.
