As long as your Temple is standing, your Priest will heal during battle. They also confer the following benefits:

• Gives you the power to create bridges and Golems. If your Temple is destroyed you will not be able to create these fundamental units.
• Gives you ownership of the island on which it is built, preventing enemies from building anything on that island.
• converts Storm Crystals into Storm Power. Transports bring Storm Crystals back to your Temple for processing.
• Once build the island will change to reflect you player colour.

These benefits are nearly identical to the Outpost, a key unit in multiplayer play.
