Dialogue

“	<Name>’s explorers come upon an enormous abandoned temple. Its stone structures loom so large that it must have been built either for, or by, giants. Call on spirits to channel this place’s power to you. Call on your gods to channel this place’s power to you. Leave goods as an offering to whoever was worshiped here. Spin like priests in an attempt to contact the temple’s god. Leave well enough alone.	”
— Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind

Consequences

Calling on spirits can get some extra Magic if you succeed.

Calling on your gods results in a big magic loss if you fail.

Leaving goods is said to give a blessing when you explore in the area further. Success influenced by Diplomacy magic (Diplomacy Test). If you're successful enough, you can have a vision of a giant blessing you with good luck when exploring the location again (find treasure sometimes). The giant can also bless you further with "Good luck talking to strangers".

Notes

This location is located West of the Oslira River either North or South of the Spirit Hills. There are 2 abandoned type locations. (The other one being Abandoned Village.) It is randomized on whether the Abandoned Temple shows up in the Northern or Southern location.

Further visits to this location can test an explorer's Leadership skill which can either increase or decrease a leadership rank by roughly 10%. Rarely, they will find a spirit or treasure as well.
