Outposts of New Gork's Tempest Temple

The continent holds many dangers, not least of which are the wild magic storms that have been known to completely change the landscape in their wake. The Tempest Temple of New Gork began an initiative to better predict these storms and has constructed a number of outposts in the jungle to gather data.

Some of the clerics responsible for manning these outposts brought their families with them, if they thought it would be safe enough, and eventually communities grew around them—small, and usually protected by stone walls. Only a handful of these outposts currently exist, and none more than a few dozen miles into the jungle, but the Tempest Temple is always looking to further the reach of their data collection.

Emberlight
The closest outpost to New Gork and the largest outpost overall, Emberlight is a mere half day's walk north of the main city and boasts a population of 53 people. In many ways, Emberlight resembles a small village and even contains a tavern and inn called the Gifted Glory.

The outpost is headed by High Priestess Celeste, an air genasi cleric of Gilean, who has been a notable member of the Temple of Knowledge for several years. The outpost's weather tower is located at its northern edge.

Wintermist
Another half day's journey northwest of Emberlight, Wintermist is a much smaller outpost. With a population of 15, the outpost is home to only a few buildings. The weather tower is located in the center of town, and is primarily watched by Preacher Thalmiir Brollik, a hill dwarf who has spent most of his life in service to Erathis.

Stonesreach
The smallest of the outposts, Stonesreach houses a population of 11, and is located a half day's journey due north of Emberlight. While the weather tower, built at the eastern edge of the wall, rises from the ground, the two other buildings were both built in the trees with rope bridges connecting them and the tower. The outpost is headed by Matron Vierna Eilstar, a drow cleric of Lathander.

Dawnwatch
Though not as large as Emberlight, Dawnwatch is still home to a respectable population of 38. A half day's travel northeast of Emberlight, the outpost is well-known for the Twin Fiddles Inn, a popular place for bards to perform, which sees visitors from the nearby outposts. Dawnwatch's leader, Pastor Nerizana Summerbirth, is a firbolg who has been taught the ways of Keranos for the entirety of her life. The weather tower is at the southern edge of town.

Shademore
A full day's travel crossing multiple rivers from Emberlight, Shademore houses 21 people. The weather tower, stationed at the north of town, also serves as a home for most of the clerics. The handful of other buildings house the few families who stay here as well. Overseeing the outpost is High Priest Thior-Ki Stillmoon, a human cleric of Silvanus.

Peacewood
The second-largest outpost, Peacewood has a population of 44 people. It's a day's journey due north of Emberlight. Much like the initial outpost, Peacewood resembles a small village, with a temple and town hall at the center, the weather tower to the west, and an inn near the entrance. Peacewood is watched over by Father Daenan Ildas, a high elven cleric of Boldrei.

Eastgate
Another small outpost, Eastgate is a day northeast of Emberlight and has a population of 16. The outpost has only one building—the weather tower, built in the center of its walls, with all the housing at its base. It's commanded by Sister Aegis, a warforged cleric of Waukeen from the nearby Frontier Forge.
