I'm writing my next adventure module ~
The High Cleric (dwarf) of Saint Olaf has been abducted from his house of worship. Derro are suspected, and as usual in my world - Loki may be involved. It is believed that the priest is being held by evil dwarf clerics.
Anyway, I'm thinking about some Dark Temple. Above are the titles I'm bandying about in my mind.
Many thanks!

If you want to use a temple-based title, I'd lose the adjective. Just go with Temple of Darkness.

I like this one, rather than the proposed ones. Dark Temple sounds punchier with the dark up front, and no adjective.
If temple is too generic, how about Dark Sanctuary, or Dark Cathedral.

In a Peyton Manning voice (for Nationwide) . . "I like it".
Perhaps a session title when the PCs go below the temple into the
Crypt of Creeping or
Creeping Crypt of flying zombies
Heh, my mind wheels are spinning.

Down under the temple or down in Oz?
Like it, though.

"Punchier", hmmm, indeed. That's a great descriptor.
Dark Sanctuary sounds good. I had thought about Cathedral, but it sounded too 13th century England - Empress Maud vs. King Stephen.
Thanks for your reply monsieur.

Hmmm . . .
Temple of Madness?
Temple of Fear?
Temple of Elemental Evil?
Decisions, decisions!

You call it The Forbidden Temple on the other thread and I like that title best of all.

Well said, even if I liked all the suggestions here in addition to a couple of the ones I posted.
