Seven Temples is a mod for Starcraft 2 that features teams of warring factions in a world of mythology and science fiction. Each faction follows its own gods and heroes and gains their favor and support by claiming new areas with temples. The gods are characterized by specific elements or aspects that define their followers' army compositions, technology and abilities. Once completed, temples summon forces unique to the areas they occupy. For example, capturing a human town will summon a certain type of human fighters while capturing ruins will summon creatures that inhabit that area. As players build more temples they also recruit stronger units and heroes at their capital. Limited mineral deposits and hidden caches are also available to build defensive or production structures and train additional units.
Eleth's capital is located safely on an island and is the strongest naval power at the start of the game. Here they have expanded to the mainland west of their ally Thallos. Eleth must construct temples or use warp prisms and expand outward from their locations. They lack any sort of static defenses but their mobility and magic users make up for it.
