The Temple of the Lesser Gods in Sophanem is a house of worship for the four lesser deities of the Menaphite Pantheon: Apmeken, Crondis, Het and Scabaras. It is located in the north-eastern corner of the city (surrounded by a swarm of giant locusts) and overseen by Jex, a priest of Icthlarin who is also versed in the worshipping rites of the lesser gods. He used to hold services for them until the temple and its basement, the bank of Sophanem, were severely damaged by an incursion of the Sect of Scabaras from the tunnels below and their subsequent repulsion by the Sophanites.^[1] Following the death of several Sophanites who entered the dungeon, the tunnels were shut off by a trapdoor with a complicated lock and two Sophanem guards were stationed in the remains of the bank.^[2] There is a ladder leading to the roof in the corner of the temple, but there is nothing there.

Jex and the Temple are visited in the Contact! quest, when the player accesses the Scabarite tunnels to find a way into Menaphos. As part of this mission, the player brings Osman to Sophanem, where he knocks Jex unconscious and sneaks into the temple. Following the quest, the basement, bank, and altar are restored and put back to use.^[3] The repaired altar can restore prayer to the player.

Some strange scarab creatures burst up from the cellars a few months ago. We fought them back into some kind of dungeon but, in doing so, the temple and the bank beneath were devastated."

There are some fearsome traps and vicious monsters lurking in the darkness. [...] We've posted a number of guards there to hold back the scarab monsters. There is a barricaded trapdoor there that is a little complicated to open."
