The temple was founded as the Vanic Temple in Araxion by Count Harald of Araxion through the issuance of a Comital Charter as well as a monetary donation from both him and the Jólaslafðir. It was the first non-Vattnalandish temple of the Ancient Ways in the Flower of the North.
The temple adopted the name of White Orchid Temple upon the inclusion of the Goddess Elwynn in the worship of the Froyalanish and Wintergleamish Vanafolk. It soon thereafter became also known as the Dróttningstemplet, owing to the Lady Elwynn being viewed as the Sacred Queen of the Lands of the Two Sacred Rivers by the Vanafolk.
