The Temple of Spode is a Maxis-made adventure. It is an unlockable adventure, which can be given to the player by empires with the Zealot archetype in the Space Stage,
In this mission, the player must escort Priest Falloha to the temple of Spode and protect him from the Black Claw clan.
Summary[]
The player beams down to the desertic setting as the Priest Falloha in front of the holy symbol of Spode awaits their arrival. The player has to speak with him, though, in his mind, he'd expected better and see them as an inexperienced innocent. He greets the player and asks about assisting with his journey and gives the recollection about losing many a companion on this trail. He points out about many around here who oppose Spode and then asks to follow the path.
The player must follow the path and lead Falloha across the desert environment and after crossing the arch, the Black Claw Zealots are ambushing towards attacking Falloha who are required to kill. The path leads to the destroyed village in rumbles and the hill towards the Temple of Spode that the player must bring Falloha to it. He then prays on Spode Statue which takes a minute while the rest of the Blaharan Defenders protect both Falloha and Temple of Spode. After his prayers had been answered, the Black Claw began to flee and thunderstorms began to strike. Eventually, the Black Claw' boat gets destroyed, which left to talk with Falloha, thanking the player, though lacking expectations to have the strength to defend them, and implying Spode sent them that day and gave the farewell to the player. The adventure ends afterward.
