Temple of Andarkin (Earth Temple)

Temple
Urik in Athas

Located in a subterranean network of chambers beneath Yaramuke Fountain this large temple wisely cultivates alliances with other elemental temples in the city, to mutual benefit. It has no formal leader and a score of elemental clerics come and go on their own whims, each practicing their own version of veneration to their element. The temple itself is named for Andarkin, a powerful earth cleric and psionicist who was last seen over a hundred years ago. Stories claim that Andarkin announced to his followers that his time had come to be one with the earth and sank deep into the ground beneath the subterranean chambers. For many years, some of his students venerated a stone engraving in the chambers bearing his likeness where they claim he disappeared. Today, most think that the old cleric, sensing his death, chose to bury himself in a tomb of his own making. Some young clerics who have been to the temple claim that a man bearing an uncanny resemblance to murals and statues below has been spotted in the city.
