218 <strong>Iron</strong> <strong>Kingdoms</strong><br />

of grinding through the ice of the Windless Waste,<br />

and even armor that makes a man into a powerhouse.<br />

Nearly all of Khador’s strongest designs were birthed<br />

from the sprawling Rigevnya workshops. The complex<br />

itself is a work of organized chaos as foremen dictate to<br />

frantic assistants what needs to be done, walking briskly<br />

amidst the work yards and labor lines. Outsiders are<br />

rarely allowed inside the grounds, for much of what<br />

they might see is experimental or prototypical.<br />

Temple of the True Law: The Temple of the True<br />

Law is an impressive structure of ancient, cracked stone<br />

that dates back to the age of King Khardovic. During<br />

the Occupation, the temple suffered at the hands of<br />

the Orgoth, but with small repairs over the centuries<br />

it has remained a symbol of the Old Faith’s tenacity. It<br />

is home to knights of the Order of the Wall, and some<br />

of the resident clergy are actually low-ranking paladins<br />

awaiting Menoth’s guidance. The temple is a stout and<br />

stark building that has a single bell tower rising high<br />

over the parapets of its holy walls. Whitewash is applied<br />

to its outer surface to fight the constant soot clinging to<br />

it from the nearby Zerutsk quarter. The congregation<br />

has ebbed dramatically over the past year after Hierarch<br />

Voyle called for a pilgrimage to the Protectorate—<br />

evidence that most Khadorans have been forced to<br />

choose between nationalism and religion.<br />
