Temple Dungeon
Temple Dungeon is an alternate name commonly used for the Sealed Temple in the Foothills biome: the sealed ancient temple where the Israel Hands boss fight takes place. The "Temple Dungeon" phrasing shows up in community chatter and in quest-log text; both terms point at the same location and the same fight.

Why Two Names
Windrose's quest log labels the structure as an ancient temple, and the quest objective text sometimes calls it "the temple dungeon" when referring specifically to the interior boss arena as distinct from the approach. Community guides alternate between "Sealed Temple," "Foothills Temple," and "Temple Dungeon" depending on context. All three refer to the same POI with the same boss inside. This wiki uses Sealed Temple as the canonical page title and keeps the other names as reference pointers.
What to Do Here
The approach to the temple is a five-objective chain within Needle in a Haystack, including a naval engagement, multiple pirate-camp clears, and the indoor fight against Israel Hands. Full walkthroughs live on the quest page and the boss page. Briefly:
Clear the outer camps to acquire the Foothills Temple Key (looted from lieutenants in the camps).
Use the key at the sealed door to enter the temple interior.
Defeat Israel Hands in the back chamber. The fight is tuned for gear tier 9 to 10 and is one of the longer scripted engagements in the launch build.
Loot the ancient chest behind the arena. Possible rewards include Soul Eater, Charon's Obol, approximately 200 Undead Essence, and a 50 XP bonus.
