The Temple of the Yuir Gods was an ancient temple found in the Yuirwood that was transported away from the Prime Material plane to the Feywild.[1] It was a place of worship dedicated to the Yuir pantheon.[2]
Structure[]
The temple was formed out of group of trees that stood upon a hill in the Yuirwood.[1]
Interior[]
The entrance hall of the temple was adorned with four, uniquely crafted, statues of the old Yuir gods: Elikarashae, Magnar the Bear, Zandilar the Dancer, and Relkath of the Infinite Branches. These statues appeared not be crafted from stone or metal, but rather grown upward from the temple's floor.[2]
Just beyond the entranceway was the temple's ossuary.[2] Within the heart of the temple was the thrice-twined tree.[3]
Atmosphere[]
Motes of light floated throughout the temple, providing ample illumination within.[4]
Activities[]
The star elves of the Yuirwood used the temple as a place of worship, but also as the holy site within which they could inter their dead.[2]
History[]
Some time circa the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR,[note 1] the cult of Voldini uncovered the ancient fey document, the Tome of Twilight Boughs, which outlined a ritual that could bring back the temple to Toril.[1] They had the ultimate goal of returning the Yuir pantheon to prominence in the Realms.[2]
The cultists led by Berrain Truescourge ultimately proved successful in their efforts, and completed the ritual,[5] inadvertently corrupting nearby fey, such as pixies and dryads, in the Yuirwood.[6]
The same night the temple returned, a group of adventurers returned the temple to the Feywild and protected the fey of the Yuirwood from utter corruption. They accomplished this feat by implanting a crystal imbued life force of a noble fey that sacrificed their life, within the temple's thrice-twined tree.[3]
Inhabitants[]
Notable Inhabitants[]
- Nimiwi, a dryad who was seperated from her tree when the temple transported to the Feywild.[2]
