Description: In its hey-day the Sanctuary of the Unearthly Idols was a massive temple filled with ancient knowledge accumulated over the length of the red Sith's dominion over the Caldera. Mirroring the Valley of the Dark Lords the Sacntuary's entry was lined by massive statues depicting long dead Dark Lords of the Sith and heroes from the early period of the Golden Age of the Sith, and the complex itself featured sprawling libraries once filled to the brim with ancient texts and documents that have long since been lost to time. Most of the adjacent structures to the primary ziggurat had been completely demolished, their subterranean tunnels collapsed and their tombs sealed away, while the living quarters had been eroded down to their foundations with only meager walls frozen in place.
But amongst the snow-blasted ruins are modern constructs put in place by the resurgent Sith Order after they reclaimed the Stygian Caldera from the fetid grasp of the Silver Jedi, mainly an enclosed shielded hanger bay primarily used to safeguard cargo transports and the personal vessels of the various Sith who have come to excavate the old ruins and restore them to newfound glory. But the danger of a Jedi counterattack is all too likely, and the nearby proximity of the hot-blooded Mandalorian Crusaders doesn't help to ease that fear either. So to better protect their heritage the Sith have erected ground-based turbolasers at the base of the ziggurat, reinforced the entryway with shielded doors, and constructed a military barrack nearby that can house up to five hundred soldiers at any given time alongside a garage that can house speeders, walkers, and tanks appropriate for the frigid weather.
A supply depot has also been established amidst the ruins of the old living quarter which houses the components necessary for a total reconstruction of the temple and whatever structures are still standing.
History: Altorius was once a bustling municipality established by the ancient Sith many centuries before the Great Hyperspace War on the icy planet of Khar Delba, and was dedicated to the extensive study and enrichment of the Dark Side of the Force by the Sith and the Dark Lords that came to rule them. Because of its proximity to Naga Sadow's citadel, it was one of the many locations demolished during the Battle of Khar Delba by Ludo Kressh's orbital bombardment of the planet. While Sadow's citadel was eventually rebuilt, Altorius was eventually forgotten and left to weather away under millennia of neglect.
During this long period the temple was subject to looters and brazen Sith who sought to plunder the ancient knowledge for either wealth or to further their own nefarious agendas. It wouldn't be till after the Stygian Caldera was liberated from the Silver Jedi by the Sith Order that the temple would be rediscovered and repairs would be commenced.
