Located in the most remote of the Scars of Veeshan, the temple is similar to Veeshan's Peak, but linked to the Plane of Sky where Veeshan herself dwells in unassailable might.
Where the Ring of Scale upon Norrath is loud, active and brash, the dragons of Velious are quiet, reserved, and most often, withdrawn. The Velious dragons are ancient beyond reckoning, having existed almost since the beginning of the creation of the other gods' children and well before any recorded history. Their age, experience and wisdom make the dragons prone to bouts of long contemplation. They spend much of their time resting or in devout meditation to Veeshan.
This isn't to say they cannot, or will not, stretch their wings. They keep a watchful eye on the holy scars and the rest of their domain, venting their wrath upon all intruders. Such have the Storm Giants learned after their attempts to expand their domain into the dragons' lands ended in disaster.
The Temple of Veeshan is a place of gathering and devotion to the great crystalline mother, Veeshan. Here dragons will spend months of quiet prayer. It is their most holy, spiritual place.
A strange gateway of proportions so immense that it would take every craftsman in every known continent decades to construct, stands alone in the Western Wastes, with no visible walls or support structure. The gate itself is a color-shifting swirl of magic, pulsing with raw power. Nothing else beyond the gate can be seen.
Passing through the gateway is committing oneself to an experience best left untold, other than to say it is as if the universe itself was splitting your soul by digging through it with a great scaled claw. After this ordeal, one's first sight is of the long Hall of Remembrance. Hundreds of feet long and twice as tall as the tallest of the first race of Norrath, the hall has stone walls with intricately carved historical murals and jeweled with gems that would make a man as rich as any city in the world.
