[[File:Davinite Serpent Lodge Priest (John Blanche).jpg|thumb|right|300px|Serpent Lodge Priest{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|Note 1}}]]
The '''Temple of the Serpent Lodge''', also known as the '''Delphos''', was an imposing stone building set in the middle of a huge crater that had a diameter of thousands of metres. The crater was located at the end of a long valley, and the chief way to approach it by land involved traveling along a stone causeway set along the bottom of the valley. The causeway was lined with crumbling statues of ancient Davinite kings.{{Fn|1a}}
Sixty years later following the [[Battle of Davin's Moon]] when Warmaster [[Horus]] was injured by the [[Anathame]], the nearby Serpent Lodge was cited by [[Erebus]] as the only way to save the Primarch. In desperation the Luna Wolves agreed to have the Lodge Priests heal Horus, but in truth this was a plot to corrupt him with the powers of Chaos and bring about the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}} The Chaos plan was successful, and members of the Serpent Lodge were still employed as agents of Horus after his conversion to the Dark Powers.{{Fn|4}}
==Notes==
*{{Endn|Note 1}}: The red serpent eye is a symbol of the Serpent Lodge. It is erily similar to that worn by Horus.{{Fn|2b}}
