The Temple of Sorrow was one of the Temples of Orian constructed around the central Palace of Orian. In 19 ABY it was taken as the home and ruling seat of Clan Naga Sadow and dubbed the new Sadow Palace. Located on the planet Sepros in the Orian system, Sadow Palace is the seat of power of the Sons of Sadow and from where the Heir of Sadow rules the clan. The temple is guarded by soldiers from the Dlarit Special Operations Group.
History
The Temples of Orian were constructed over five thousand years ago during the reign of Marka Ragnos in the days of the old Sith Empire. The temples were positioned in a heptagram around the central palace. Each temple was devoted to one of the seven tenets of the Final Way. Through focusing the power of the dark side through the temples Urias Orian hoped to make himself immortal.
Today most of the temples lie in ruin and the Palace of Orian utterly destroyed. When the Disciples of Sadow arrived in 19 ABY following the Great Exodus from the Phare system the Temple of Sorrow was chosen to serve as the new Sadow Palace as it was in the best state of repair.
Description
As with all the old fortresses of Urias Orian, Sadow Palace bore signs of the age in which it was built. The walls were shaped from a marble-like structure and possessed an unnatural, sometimes unnerving, elegance, their curves flowing as if molded like clay. Today, the palace stands as a testament to the building prowess of the Clan.
Overlord's Office
Consul and Proconsul's Offices
The main spire extends several floors and lofts far higher then the canopy of the planet's foliage. The upper floors contain most of the electronics and modern equipment such as the HoloNet relay and various tactical consoles which are linked up with the Dlarit Security Force headquarters of Kar Alabrek on Tarthos. The spire holds the offices of the overlord, consul and proconsul. The temple also houses the clan's near-legendary library of Sith artifacts, tomes and holocrons. Among the artifacts stored in Sadow Palace are the swords of Sadow and Shar Dakhan and the Holocron of Tulak Hord.
Barracks and Shooting Range
The deepest levels serve as the quarters for the Dlarit Special Operations Group detachment assigned to protect Sadow Palace. The palace guard are commanded by the palace prefect who acts as the planet's military governor.
