Temple of Eternal Night

The Temple of Eternal Night is a location that appears towards the end of the first Blade film. The temple was dedicated to the ancient vampire god La Magra.

Background:
Located somewhere in Centre City, the main setting of the first film Blade, the Temple of Eternal Night was built at an unknown point in time, although the project had likely been orchestrated by the vampire crime lord Deacon Frost, using his wealth and influence. Frost had plans to carry out a ritual within the temple, first by translating ancient texts from the vampire bible called the Book of the Erebus. Twelve Purebloods from the council of the House of Erebus were required for the ritual, but most importantly Blade's blood was needed. Through the ritual, the vampire god La Magra would be awakened be unleashed upon the world, transforming both humans and vampires into a single race of godlike vampire-beings that possessed all of La Magra's traits, notably the ability to walk in daylight. In the climax of the ritual, Deacon Frost would inherit most of the powers of La Magra, however, during his fight with Blade, the possessed Frost was found not to be immune to the effect of the serum doses. The effect caused Frost's body to swell up to the point where he finally exploded, resulting in his death and ultimately ending his goal of world supremacy. The Temple of Eternal Night is not seen again following the events in Blade and it is unknown what became of it. It is possible that the temple was abandoned and fell out of use entirely, as its original purpose was now defunct.
