Tempering Hall

From PathfinderWiki

The Tempering Hall is a combat school located across the main street from the Seventh Church in the Ascendant Court district of Absalom.1 The facility traditionally trains paladins of Iomedae as well as those called by Abadar, Irori, and Shelyn, a few of whom supplement the dozens of paladins of Iomedae trained by the elderly priests.1 However, in recent years, the Hall has started accepting anyone dedicated to fighting evil.2 A specialism of the school is teaching mastery of a god's favoured weapon to that deity's followers.3

Curriculum

The three-year course of study and training overcomes many prospective paladins who undertake it, though its rigors and renown are such that even a single season of training is considered valuable preparation against powerful foes.2

Faculty

Evandor Malik is the Knight Lord of the Tempering Hall,4 a position previously occupied by Rochae Swiftblade.1
