The Eye Of The All-Father

A temple to the Giant God Annam, The All-Father.

Located in the mountains north of Granit’s Holdfast and Mirabar.

A large natural rock bridge crosses a chasm in the mountains. Six stone pillars hold up a natural dome. Each pillar has a relief of a single type of Giant.

The entrance leads to a long hallway with raised platforms on both sides. At the far end is a large set of double doors.

The raised platorms lead back to small rooms with a lever in each which drop blocks in the main hallway to block it. At the other end they lead to the main room but bars block the way.

Through the double doors (and the raised platforms) is the main room. There are seven statues. Six statues are arranged around the outside of the room, kneeling, facing the central status. The six statues are ~30ft tall. They depict the six Giant types. The seventh, 40ft, tall statue is of Annam the All-Father, who faces away from the hallway door.

Past Annam is a glowing portal. The portal can be opened by a Giant taking the implement from the statue of their race and touching it to the relevant symbol on the portal.

The portal leads to a room with six statues, of the Giant races, stood facing the centre with a torch in each hand. Each question asked of the Oracle causes a torch to extinguish.

North of the main room is a dormitory corridor and stairs up to another dormitory corridor. We find the Ice Shard upstairs.

South of the main room is a long room (450ft!) with tables and benches and a firepit in the middle.
