| - The Temple of the Four was dedicated to the worship of Allanbay, his wife Sorn and their sons Basenbe and Malamay. The Four had been followed individually since time immemorial, but their collective worship was relatively new, and instituted after the fall of Falgoon Gap. The temple itself is in a secluded grove but can be reached easily from Sanctuary. There are shrines and temples to individual members of the Four in many other places. Followers of Allanbay, Sorn and Basenbe were all persecuted by the Church of the Shroud through the centuries, although up until the release of Phykrell, worship of Malamay was tolerated. As Sanctuary did not fall within the territories of the Church of the Shroud, it was possible for the Temple of the Four to operate quite openly, and it was the largest established religion in the region. Reverence for the natural world is an integral part of the worship of both Allanbay and Sorn and druidic and shamanic rites are often performed alongside the more traditional duties of priests. The Temple of the Four also permitted priests of other deities to worship on their premises, provided that the gods they followed were not antagonistic to any of the Four.
