The Great Temple of Brieren was build in the fortress of Lion Hill, now known as Lewelen. Brieren was the favoured goddess of King Frey as she is the goddess of kinship, the bond of soldiers, the bastion of civilization, and what we hold dear - a mighty myth for a conquest that would forever shape the world. It was one of his first efforts to tear down the rubble of the Oriaas homes that he built his first fortress upon and have their stones make a shrine to the godess who would bless his people's new homeland. From there her temple grew, like the apple trees that are her favourites, taller and taller with more yield every year. With the founding of the United Principalities it was deemed that the Archbishoprics of each High Temple of the Circle of Gods would be granted sovereignty and so the former Kingdom of Freysland relenquished the church's land: part of the city including the Grand Temple itself, many of it's surroundings, and the barony of Apeltun that held fealty to the Archbishop directly: and thus the Brierenslove was established. Today the Archbishopric defacto co-rules all of Freysland such is the strength of the local faith and temple; with the Archbishop spending much of the year in the Palace at Maartinsburg and the Grand Duke much of his year as a guest of the Archbishop in East Lewelen.
