The Temple of Thirst was first built in the Age of the Wild. When small Kingdoms sprouted up across the land of Anakainosis and magic ran rampant in the world. While The Three waged war across the world against the Great Beasts, there were a number of smaller Kingdoms able to survive and flourish thanks to their seclusion from the outside world. One of these places was ruled by a family of bloodthirsty tyrants. Their tomb, known as the Temple of Thirst, was discovered by Grildan The Wise and Ulvanic the Thirsty during the War of Light. The Great Blood Axe of Grildan was first discovered deep within the catacombs of this unholy place. After collecting the Blood Axe, Grildan The Wise ventured South to join the Armies of Light in the final assault on the Mother of the Wild's lair. The Temple of Thirst was lost to time, and none have discovered its resting place in over an Age.

Rumors have begun to spread of new Temples of Thirst being built or discovered across Anakainosis. These are almost assuredly old wives' tales meant to scare children into behaving.
