📋 About This Mod
~~ Ruined Shrine of Phynaster
~~A ruined cathedral rests beneath the earth, swallowed by the shifting dirt after thousands of years of time. Histories speak of glimpses of elven spirits, eternally bound to their ancient home.
Though nearly all Snow Elf ruins have since faded into dust, the Temple of Phynaster still hints at its former glory. Priests and adventurers fear its corrupted inhabitants, but perhaps a champion will arise to cleanse the holy place, and receive the blessing of Phynaster.
Rumours speak of unexplored chambers beneath the age-old ruin, and an ephemeral chill that rises from the tunnels...
