—Sleekit and Tox discuss Albain
| ||
Albain was a druidic temple in the Hammerlands during Dragonhollow's Seventh Era.
After abandoning Dros Delnoch due to its location potentially being compromised by the advent of the Player Tracker, Sleekit traveled more than one hundred kilometers from the capital Hammerlea to work on Albain, the spiritual center of the Overkingdom.
The temple was to feature four curved towers made of andesite, quartz, and clay.
Some speculated it was built as a place of worship for Eris to beseech her to return to Dragonhollow and save her people from the coming apocalyptic Eternal Night. While the former may be true, the latter is improbable because Sleekit began building the temple before the Hegemon Retro announced that the end was nigh. Others suspected that the true purpose of the temple was to honor older pagan gods.
On 7E:92, Sleekit abandoned Albain because of logistics and construction difficulties. It was the final project of his Overkingdom and just days later he embarked on an expedition in search of the mythic Heart of the Hollow.
