I've been tasked with designing a Loviatian temple. So far, all I have to go in is the entry about Loviatar in the Faiths and Pantheons book - can anyone recommend any other sources, either online or offline? I'm not picky, I'll take anything - novels, articles, designs you doodled five years ago on the back of a napkin...
Thanks in advance,

The major villain in my current campaign worships Loviatar. He's a half-fiend/half-human evolved master vampire epic blood magus, whose "shrine" to Loviatar is a network of blood pits, above which hang gutted bodies dangling from wicked hooks. Found deep within the bowels of Grimstead Castle's ruins, these pits pool the blood of often-still-writhing victims into a massive Blood Pit, where vampires may flay themselves in honor to Loviatar, basking in a large pool of warm blood. The Elder, as the beastly vampire is known, is served by kyton torturers, blood animotes, and a vast array of undead minions and vampire spawn. Using class abilities like scarification, the Elder sees pain as a way of enlightenment. It certainly makes his spells more powerful. |

The Faiths & Avatars entry is rather more illuminating than the Faiths & Pantheons one was, thank you! And that list looks useful - I'll have to go through it thoroughly tomorrow. :)

The 2e Faiths & Avatars tome. There was also some slight detailing of a temple to Loviatar in the Maiden of Pain novel -- part of "The Priests" series.
Also, for comparison purposes, there's a listing of deity temples (including Loviatar's) here at Candlekeep:- http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/temples.htm
It should allow you to search for other Loviatar temples in the Realmslore and compare each temple reference so you can gain a fair idea about what they are like. I'm slowly updating it since it is only relevant to 1372 DR -- taking into account all other temple mentions in both novels and more recent sourcebooks.
