The Temple of Laran was a temple on the banks of the Tiber, dedicated to the Etruscan god of war, Laran.[1] It stands atop an Isu vault.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
In 754 BCE, Romulus and Remus entered the vault beneath the temple, where the Isu Mars appeared in front of the twins and gave them his Sword of Eden. Later, the pair argued over both Rome's future and Sword's fate, and Romulus killed his brother[3] using the Sword of Mars before fleeing the temple. Mars once again manifested, this time offering a dying Remus an Atlantis artifact that would save his life, at the cost of diminishing his free will and turning him into a Versipellis.[2]
By 717 BCE, the temple was being used by the Cult of Uni, a secret organization that sought to control the Roman Kingdom and the known world. Worshippers of Uni, they went so far as to trade the effigies inside the temple to portray her instead. There, on the eve of a planned assassination against Romulus, the group gathered to officiate a propitiatory ritual, though the meeting was infiltrated by members of the Shields of Mars, a group founded by Romulus to defend Rome from the shadows. The Shields of Mars collected information about the traitors and their plan before killing the supervising priest Thresu during the ritual, hoping the superstitious Romans might perceive it as a bad omen.[1]
The following day, the Shields of Mars escorted Romulus to the temple, fleeing an attack at the Campus Martius. Romulus, intending to hide his sword in the very same underground chamber he received it in, led the group to the vault, where they were attacked by Remus, now a 10-foott tall wolf man with superhuman strength. Though a formidable adversary, Remus was eventually defeated. In his final moments, he returned to reason and rejected his hatred and Mars' gift, reverting into his original form. The Shields of Mars picked up his body and set it on the chamber's central altar, with the Sword of Eden in his arms.[2]
In 1504, the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins located the temple ruins and recovered a Memory Seal buried there.[4]
