Shrine of Grimnir

The Shrine of Grimnir, also known as the Temple of Grimnir is located in Karak Kadrin. Most Slayers travel to Grimnir's shrine to take the Slayer Oath.

The entrance hall of the temple is lit by a huge fire. By contrast, the Inner Sanctum of the Shrine of Grimnir is dark and gloomy. The ceiling is around 18 feet high, relatively high for a dwarf building. The sanctum is dominated by a runic altar is topped with a statue of a mighty dwarf slayer holding tow axes, presumably a depiction of Grimnir himself. The Hammer of Firebeard is also kept on the altar. The inner sanctum also serves as the sepulcher for the Slayer Kings of Karak Kadrin, and is lined with their sarcophagi.

The priests of Grimnir who tend the fire wear plain red tunics and bind their beards with clips depicting the sign of two crossed axe.

It is unusual for non-Dwarfs to enter the Shrine of Grimnir. However, some dwarf-friends who are particularly well respected are allowed to enter the shrine. For example, Felix Jaeger visited the shrine during his visit to Karak Kadrin.
