Temple of Baa

The Temple of Baa, also known as the Cult of Baa, was a cult founded by the Kreegan leader Xenofex on Enroth, sometime between the Night of Shooting Stars (3 years before Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven) and early 1164 AS (one year before Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven), with the aim of sowing dissension and undermining Ironfist’s rule.

The cult maintained public temples across the continent, offering cheap healing services to the poor. These temples were located in the regions of Castle Ironfist, Mire of the Damned, Bootleg Bay, Free Haven, Blackshire, and Paradise Valley.
