I'm having some problems finding official lore about the following temples, besides their names and locations:

The Shrines of Nature (Mielikki and Silvanus)
The Temple of Good Cheer (Milil) - I only find mention of this in Faiths & Avatars
The House of Heroes (Tempus)

Also, in Faiths & Avatars under Istishia's entry it mentions that Waterdeep has a large temple to the God-King of Water Elementals. I'm convinced that some time ago I read somewhere of a small chapel in a cellar somewhere near the docks but I can't find it again. Although, I might be confusing that with Umberlee before the construction of The Queenspire.

Dear, sweet sages and searchers - can anyone help me with this?

EDIT: I'd also like a bit more information about The Temple of Beauty than is presented in Faiths & Avatars

Both the 2e City of Splendors boxed set and the 3e City of Splendors: Waterdeep tome have details on these three divine locations. Volo's Guide to Waterdeep has some lore on the House of Heroes as well.

There are some very brief tidbits on the Temple of Beauty in the sources I mentioned above.



Many thanks, Sage. However, I can't find anything more than a location mentioned for these temples in the 3E CoS:Waterdeep book. I have the 2E boxed set as well, but I like to take the most recent lore and work backwards if I can't find anything. So if there is something more than just the location in the 3E book I'd be very grateful if you could point me to it.

I think you probably mean Tyr's House of Justice or one of his Orders.

I should perhaps elaborate that I'm aware of, and happy with, the canon lore I've found for the following temples (including the Skullport and Undermountain 'cults' and temples as well), it's just the ones in the original post I'm interested in.

Cyric, Eilistraee, Ghaunadaur, Gond, Lathander, Loviatar, Malar, Mystra, Oghma, Selune, Shar, Siamorphe, Tymora, Tyr, and Umberlee
