Great Temple of El-Qulatha (building)

The Great Temple of El-Qulatha is a catch-all term for around a dozen different temples that have either been rededicated or built over others during the site's history. The massive complex predates any known religion, even that of the Sophocist, and is of an architecture and construction utterly Alien to even the greatest of engineers and philosophers that have studied it. All agree, however, that the massive structure is astonishingly beautiful, so beautiful that some have posited that the building may be somewhat magical in nature, a constant charm giving it an almost hypnotic alure...

Less palatable than the fine pre-Golden Age facade or the wonderful silk Ritualist tapestries adorning the west tower is the fact that the massive structure's myriad of complex underground complexes remain mostly unexplored. Not for lack of effort, but from a lack of adventurers who actually return. For this reason, no matter which faith currently rules the temple, the catacombs are almost always sealed shut.
