I have been reading the conversion notes and I noticed that they state the "prominent role of the Church of Kord is replaced by the Church of Talona". The next sentence about the lesser faiths states that Tempus should be used for Kord. I wasn't real familiar with Talona so I looked her up in Faiths and Pantheons and she doesn't seem like a good fit for Kord at all. Is it me or does something seem wrong here?
The other deity I have not heard of is Anachtyr, which appears to be a southern aspect of Tyr unless these are two different deities. If I am reading correctly the southern aspect of Tyr is not an additional deity just a description of Anachtyr. I get confused easily I guess.

In the published lore (specifically, Faiths & Avatars [Talona], Powers & Pantheons [Savras], and Serpent Kingdoms), I made the two major churches of Tashluta to be the Church of Talona and the Church of Savras. For the core Sasserine, one of the core churches is the Church of Kord. The obvious conversion for Kord is Tempus, but I didn't want to lose the Realms flavor entirely. Therefore, while the church of Kord is replaced by the church of Tempus, the second "prominent slot" among the churches is the Church of Talona, not the Church of Kord/Tempus.

Anachtyr is a southern (specifically Calishite) aspect of Tyr.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to place the temple of Talona? I have been reading Serpent Kingdoms and her largest temple in all the Realms is located in Tashluta. I am thinking of replacing the temple of Worgul in Shadowshore for now but I just wanted some more input before making the decision.
Not wanting to put words in Eric's mouth, but I beleive what he is saying is that the church of Talona occupies the same position in the city as the church of Kord, i.e. Talona's church is the most prominent in Tashluta, Kord's is in Sasserine. He's just pointing out that the most prominent temple in Tashluta would not be the Church of Tempus, as that would be a significant change from established Realmslore.
