The Temple of Light in Oakfield, of Fable II, is a Temple built upon a hill, in which monks reside, and also the Temple of Shadows' opposite. It was founded by Albert the Luminous. They worship the light, which is in abundance in the immediate vicinity of the temple (probably the reason for its construction) and a nearby cave is the location wherein they practice their oldest ritual. This consists of gathering blessed water from three springs, and using it to grow a magical Golden Acorn which falls only once from the Golden Oak tree on which it grows (a small, self contained life cycle). As the tree grows, it restores the life energy to the surrounding area (Oakfield), which is surely what makes the land so fertile and the air so fresh. Sister Hannah (Hammer, the Hero of Strength) lived here until her father, The Abbot, was killed on behalf of Lucien, after which she swore vengeance and joined The Hero's small army.
Donating gold to the Temple of Light grants the player a number of good points, whereas 75 is maximum per donation of around 5,000 gold of you are good. If the player donates 10,000 gold all at once between 12:01pm and 1:00pm, they will receive The Rising Sun cleaver.
After completion of the quest Defender of the Light and then the quest The Spire, the temple becomes larger with a new building, new steps, and more monks in the surrounding area. If the player instead completes the Oakfield Massacre quest, then the temple will become abandoned and there will be an Assassination job inside what remains of the temple. The lighting in Oakfield will also be a lot darker too. Similarly, if the player completes neither the Defender of the Light nor the Oakfield Massacre then the temple will be abandoned and the Assassination job may be accepted there.

[edit] Purchase
WARNING: This section or article may contain spoilers!
It is possible to purchase the Temple of Light if the player completes the Defender of the Light quest. It has a Base Value of 100,000. Look for the sign on the entrance to the new building after you return from the Spire. Purchasing the temple will also unlock the title The Chosen One at all town criers for free. Donating to the Temple will also give you experiance points. The more you give, the more you get.
[edit] Aging
WARNING: This section or article may contain spoilers!
Donating gold to the Temple of Light will also reverse the aging effect that occurs on the player's character throughout the story line. This somewhat includes the unnatural aging that happens if the player decides to keep the dark seal in the end of The Hero of Skill quest; the character's skin and hair will return to normal, but the glowing eyes will sometimes remain.
[edit] Temple Monks
The Temple of Light is ran by monks. You can see them roaming around the Temple and parts of Albion.
