Temple to Tempus

Tempus is a war god concerned with brave conduct during war, using force of arms over talk for settling disputes, and encouraging bloodshed. The god of war is random in his favors, meaning that his chaotic nature favors all sides equally. Lord Tempus might be an army's ally one day, and its enemy the next. He might seem to manifest before a battle, appearing to one side or the other.

The largest temple in the city, dedicated to the Lord of Battle, attracts spectators and combatants alike. Winners of ward competitions or large-scale tournaments held in the Field of Triumph are often carried on shoulders or hand-to-hand over the heads of a crowd until they land in its halls, which hold monument to the city's champions of battle and sport, past and present.
