By making an offering to Shintal in this place, you reveal a hidden area with direct ties to the Order of Assassins;
In response to your sacrifice, Shintal’s eyes light up, glowing red. Hidden gears crank in the shadows and a section of the wall pops open, revealing a secret staircase. - Festival of Heroes (GS-ADV1)
Beneath the temple, you find a long rumored secret room. There have been stories that the Shintal high priests have given sanctuary to the Order of Assassins. This room proves that the stories are more than rumors.
Searching the room, you see a number of tiny scrolls tucked into niches in the stone wall. Each scroll appears to have a name that has been crossed out. Perhaps fallen victims of the assassins?
The walls are also lined with a multitude of small weapons, all befitting an assassin.
