Trial Forge

The Trial Forge is a large temple to Kord in the Braving Grounds District of Vasselheim, led by Earthbreaker Groon. The Trial Forge also serves as a meditation and physical training center.

Description
An impressive sight from the exterior, the Trial Forge features steps leading up to giant, reddish, almost rusted-over doors that blocked the entrance. Bastions guard the front entrance. Atop the temple, a gargantuan statue of Kord looms over the entire district. The statue depicts a musclebound titan of a figure standing heroically with a giant beard, bracers on his arms, and one knee raised.

Inside the temple, sage and other herbs are burned to ceremonially cleanse the area of evil spirits and create an atmosphere conducive to meditation. The building itself consists of two long hallways that intersect into a central chamber with a raised dais, upon which shine multicolored beams of light. The halls are each essentially one long arch, about eighty-five to one hundred feet tall, built from a thick, sturdy, reddish stone. The floor was a polished black marble with gold streaks through it. Individuals in gold and red robes often walk throughout the temple, though their regalia is simpler than that of the Earthbreaker, and when Vox Machina spoke to them, they did not respond.
