Location
The Temple of the Sleeper is located in the South-West part of the Colony, its neighbors are: in the North the Orc Arena, to the South-East Xardas' Tower and to the North-West the Free Mine. There is an Orc Town situated at the entrance of the temple. To enter it, you need a teleportation spell scroll from the orc shamans, or, a statue of the Sleeper from the top of the totem where the orc shamans praied to the Sleeper.
History
The Colony has been inhabited by the orcs for a very long time. They were separated into different tribes which fought each other. One of the tribes wanted to invoke a demon, which would help them to overcome the other tribes, so they started building a place to perform the ceremony. The temple was built by five orc shamans: Varrag-Kasorg, Varrag-Hashor, Varrag-Ruuushk, Varrag-Unhilqt and their leader Grash-Varrag-Arushat. After finishing the temple (and positioning dozens of traps in it), they invoked the Sleeper or Krushak, as orcs call him. After the Sleeper entered the mortal world, he immediately transformed all the workers, guards and the five shamans into undead beings. He forced the shamans to give him their hearts, putting them in shrines, at the place of invocation. Their hearts kept the Sleeper into the mortal world. After this catastrophe the orcs realized that the Sleeper was an evil entity, so they sealed the temple and started praying to the Sleeper as their new god, in order to keep him from not destroying them.

Final Days
The hero was sent by Xardas, first, to scout the temple, in hope of finding valuable information. While searching the temple he found the magical sword Uriziel, in a chamber, guarded by one of the shamans: Varrag-Ruuushk. After killing four of the shamans, he returned to the Colony where, with the help of Xardas and Milten he managed to recharge Uriziel, restoring its former powers and with the help of Stone, he managed to improve the ore armor that he received from Xardas. Being adequately equipped he headed to face the Sleeper. After defeating the leader of the shamans, Cor Kalom and his obsessed novices, he managed to slay the Sleeper by using the swords of the undead shaman to kill the hearts that sustained the Sleeper's life.
