The Temple of War is a mighty fortress found in the center of the Fissure of Woe. It is the home of the Eternal Forgemaster (thus is sometimes called The Forge) and is the core of the presence of the forces of Balthazar in the Fissure. The Temple has two entrances, each is locked until triggered by the appropriate event. The northern gate will open once the group of Shadow Monks and Shadow Mesmers outside it have been destroyed. The southern gate will open after the quest Defend the Temple of War is successfully completed.
