Temple Entry, Day 7 (mid-day)
The doors swing silently open on heavy, well-oiled hinges of bronze, letting the dim light of the stormy sky pour into the entryway. The floor beyond the doors is made up of reddish-brown slate-like stone squares, each about two feet square. The walls of the area are plastered and painted with scenes befitting the nature of the foul Temple - disgusting acts, killing, torture, enslavement, robbery, thievery and other unspeakable things. The creed of the Temple and its worshippers is all too evident here. Evil is flaunted and lionized. The dim light filters through the stained glass windows that line the vestibule, casting revolting colors upon the greenish stones of the floor to the north.
In that direction, you can see the nave of the Temple. The pillars to either hand are of a pinkish mineral, shot through with worm-colored veins. Their arches lead to an unremarkable pair of lesser side aisles. The columns supporting the archways, as well as the arches themselves, are worked in bas relief. As with the frescoes in the entryway, the scenes are ineffable, vile and filthy. This area was probably reserved for the lowliest of worshippers during the time when the Temple flourished. The area beyond the nave, past the first archway, appears to be better lit and more open. You can see more of the nauseating pinkish pillars supporting the roof beyond.
