The Arbalest's House was a monastery and the most significant temple to Milil circa 1358 DR.[1][2]
Location[]
Arbalest's House was located on a hilltop in the town of Athkatla, north of Goldspires and of the harbor.[2]
Structure[]
The walls, floors and ceilings of the temple were mostly made of stone. [3] Its most notable architectural feature was the Bellows of Milil, a gigantic pipe organ intertwined with the structure of building itself.[3]
Defenses[]
The Bellows of Milil provided the temple with several protecting spells, with both defensive and offensive capabilities.[3] It also contained several caches in the form of false pipes, used to store most of the temple's treasure (perfectly formed gemstones).[3]
History[]
The temple was developed by the Patriarch of Song, the utmost authority of the church.[2] Milil himself journeyed to Arbalest's House during the Time of Troubles, and personally founded a singing circle there.[2]
Rumors & Legends[]
The temple was said to contain several teleportation portals,[3] including a portal leading to New Olamn in Waterdeep and created by Milil himself.[2]
Inhabitants[]
While the temple itself hosted mostly Sorlyn priests, the Bellows was roamed by various creature such as wind walkers and volts.[3]
