The Temple of Phantoms, also known as Hjemsøkttemplet and Soloralistsgröf, which means "haunted temple" and "Soloralists' tomb" in the Froyalanish and Wintergleamish languages, is one of the Thirteen Temples of Eluin, the senior temples of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways. The temple complex is situated in the Royal City of Ardashirshahr. It is the southernmost of the Thirteen Temples of Eluin.
Name
The temple derives its name from the ghosts of clerics of a razed-down Soloralist temple - over which the Temple of Phantoms has been built - who are said to haunt the temple complex. The clerics were massacred during the days of the Elfinshi War.
About
As regards seniority among the temples of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways, the Temple of Phantoms holds the fifth spot, and its High Priestess a corresponding rank among the Hjartardýrlafðir. The temple is only outranked by the White Orchid Temple, the Shrine of the Sea, the Shrine of the Wicked Garden, and the Mackerel Temple. The High Priestess of the Temple of Phantoms has been assigned a place accordingly in the Order of Precedence by the Royal Household and Heritage of the White Orchid Throne. The Hjemsøkttemplet has been built in accordance with the local Babkhi building style.
History
The Temple of Phantoms was founded during the Ducal Reign of Harald of Froyalan by a Ducal Charter issued by the aforesaid Lord of the White Orchid Throne. A very short while after its establishment the Jólaslafðir decreed by means of a Gyllmára Búlla that the temple's High Priestess would in perpetuity be part of the Deer Ladies.
