The House of Heroes was a temple dedicated to the god Tempus, the Lord of Battles, located in the Sea Ward of Waterdeep in the mid–14th century DR.

Location


The temple was located at the corner of the Lions and Jelzar's Stride, across from the Field of Triumph.

Structure


It was a 3-story temple complex. It was one of the biggest temples in Waterdeep.

The temple's halls honored not only battle champions of the city, but also winners of sports competitions. The honored champions were immortalized with name plates and visages.

Activities


This temple provided services for the various combatants and spectators from the nearby Field of Triumph and also supported the Academy of Arms, which was dedicated to the fighting arts. The clergy could provide healing services.

Following internal sports competitions between players from different wards of Waterdeep, such as the Plowing and Running, the winners paraded through the temple's halls, carried on the crowd's shoulders.
