The Temple Masters continue a tradition of military excellence that has been a part of High Elven life for millennia. The defeats at the Battle of Khamsin cost the Elven Lords dearly, but the Temple Masters are still ready to take up the fight against the lowlanders that took the lives of so many of their fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. Armed with age-old magical weapons, giant griffons for mounts, and books of spells never before seen in the Land, the Temple Masters now are ready to confront the lowland races and destroy them wherever they stand. For now the main bastions of the Temple Master armies guard the slopes of the Rivvenheim Mountains against invaders, while bands of griffon-riding strike groups lash out at more remote enemy targets with a lethal precision.
