bulding temples in sea provinces

[Hattori Hanzo]

hallo, I'm a novice both in this forum and in Dominions 3 - I have a question for the very experienced players:

is it possible in Dominions 3 for a normal race to build temples in a sea province ?
and in which way.. ???

in a recent game that I played I see that one of the other players (early age, Helheim) have build a temple in a sea procince adiacent to one of my provinces.
I asked to him how can this be possible, but he refuse to let me know the right way.

I also searched in the game manual and in many places on the web but I have not find any valid solution..

by the way, I discovered how to build Castles (both with the ritual Living Castle and with the help of a Kelp Ancient commander) and Labs (again with the Kelp Ancient commander), but for what concern the Temple I have find nothing.

can someone of you experienced players help me please ???

thank you !!!

It's been a long time but IIRC you need a commander with holy ranks who can go underwater. This can be from an item.

Beware that since you can't construct any local defense they're awfully easy to take out.

You can also get temples via random events.

Just forge a ring of water breathing, give it to any of your priests and he can go build temples in your sea provinces.
