Asperity Castle

A temple fortress created by worshippers of Mogis, surrounded by a stone maze on all sides.

Description
Founded in 43EF by Mirinus Thunderhorn and a handful of Mogis worshippers, a Temple was constructed in a ravine within the Valour Mountains. A stone structure designed with the aesthetics and architecture from Theros, the temple's inner chamber would be installed with a great monument to Mogis where the Axe of Mogis, Wrathbringer, would be kept safe until times of war, conquest or pillage.

Upon the temple's completion, a maze was constructed around the temple grounds on all sides. The walls built 40ft high and unscalable. Over time, the worshippers of Mogis would find and lure half a dozen wild Gorgon to the maze of Asperity Castle. Without regular culling, it is now unknown how many Gorgon have been born within the maze. Decorating the walls and floors of the maze, contain the bones and armour of the Templars of Zitus, collected over time by Mirinus and his followers.

Culture
Ruled in the image of Mogis, only the strong rule. Whilst Mirinus Thunderhorn helped shape the worship and how the doctrines would be fulfilled, with a less wrathful worship than those of Theros, all things must come to pass. It is believed that since the passing of the founding ruler of Asperity Castle, the Minotaurs of Asperity Castle have very much turned back to the old ways of Mogis, with many becoming androphage.

Adopting the name, The Legion of Wrath, they are now a menace and great threat within Tosima, the followers of Mogis frequently raid and pillage settlements surrounding the mountains in the name of the God of Slaughter. Despite their aggressive behaviours, they have been known to parley and offer their services for large amounts of coin.

In a trial of faith when joining the Temple of Mogis in Elysia, and those whom come of age, members must travel south to Eskarya and return with the helm of a Paladin of Zitus, or not at all.
