The hardwood entrance has been banded with sturdy bars of steel to ensure its stamina in the most dire of times.

Cherry trees in carved stone planters border the sweeping approach while softening the exterior walls surrounding the Temple grounds.  Flames flicker from the tops of three tall towers standing guard over the orb of the Main Temple.  Fragile walkways lash the towers to each other high above the orb.  You also see a high granite wall surrounding the temple grounds, the locked almsbox and the Longbow Bridge.</description>

Independent of the frigidly stagnant stream, a marble bath lies empty amidst a patch of barren ground, the sirese blooms absent in the winter frost.

The varied colors cast down from the domed Eyes of the Thirteen add to the day's brush of illumination, melding softly upon the altar's reflective surface.  From this sacred point, the massive chamber sweeps majestically upwards, stairways and benches rising to meet the archways and domes of light that circle above.</description>

Sweeping majestically upwards from this raised platform, the stairways and benches lining the massive chamber dwindle into deepest shadow as they climb to meet the vague outlines of archways arrayed in a surrounding ring far above.</description>
