'''Vostok Observatory''' is a Soviet-era scientific facility located near the summit of [[Felwinter Peak]] in [[Old Russia]], [[Earth]]. It was accessible only by a gondola system. By the time of the [[Golden Age]], it had been decommissioned and was used as a public museum under the care of the Vostok Observatory Historical Society.<ref>[[Grimoire/Places/Earth|Grimoire Vostok]]</ref> The [[Warlord]] [[Felwinter]] rediscovered the observatory during the [[Dark Age]] and made it his fortress, where he kept a throne. Upon joining the [[Iron Lords]], Felwinter granted them permission to build their stronghold on his mountain.<ref>[[Grimoire/Allies/Iron Lords|Felwinter]]</ref> Lord [[Silimar]] designed and built the [[Iron Temple]] across from the observatory. At the height of the Iron Lords' power, countless petitioners passed through the observatory grounds on their pilgrimage to seek the aid of the Iron Lords or acquire an artifact imbued with their strength.

==History==
By the time of the [[Golden Age]], it had been decommissioned and was used as a public museum under the care of the Vostok Observatory Historical Society.<ref>[[Grimoire/Places/Earth|Grimoire Vostok]]</ref> The [[Warlord]] [[Felwinter]] rediscovered the observatory during the [[Dark Age]] and made it his fortress, where he kept a throne. Upon joining the [[Iron Lords]], Felwinter granted them permission to build their stronghold on his mountain.<ref>[[Grimoire/Allies/Iron Lords|Felwinter]]</ref> Lord [[Silimar]] designed and built the [[Iron Temple]] across from the observatory.


After the fall of the Iron Lords to [[SIVA]], Lord [[Saladin Forge]] sealed the Iron Temple and Vostok Observatory was consequently abandoned. Some four-hunded years later, the [[Fallen]] [[House of Devils]] attempted to capture the Temple. The [[Guardian]] cleared them out of the observatory and prevented [[Sepiks Perfected]] from breaching the Temple's inner sanctum. With the rise of the new generation of Iron Lords, the Temple and the observatory once again bustle with dozens of Guardians.<ref>[[King of the Mountain]]</ref>
