Hailing from Karigor Isle, the Templars have arrived in Jadame to spread their faith: be it by word or by sword. With High Inquisition leading from their bastion, the Temple of the Sun strives to forge the best version of oneself. Their well-rounded troops gain extra benefits from buffs.^OffBck

Temple is a faction in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era.

Lore

The Church of the Sun is a religious order founded on the island of Karigor. Its devotees believe that worthy souls are carried into the Chalice of the Sun upon death, and they seek to convert everyone to their holy cause — by force if necessary. They are bitter enemies of the Church of the Moon.

Recently, the Church has established a temple in Jadame in order to spread their faith to the continent, where they've come into conflict with the Necromancers' Guild and Temple of the Moon. They've brought griffins and angels to further their war effort, although the sentinels of glory that were once their allies have abandoned them for unknown reasons.
