Pyrtechon: Temples: Difference between revisions

<span class="DROPCAP">G</span>iven the dogma of the church, creation of standing edifices in veneration goes against the grain. However, it was acknowledged 400 years ago that some focal point of devotion needed to exist. As a result, the pinpoint of [[Pyrtechon]] worship is in the Crimson Cathedral on <span class="FORCELINK">[[Firesteep]] Volcano</span>. Being the only official structure dedicated to the <span class="FORCELINK">Raging One</span>, the first impression one gets is that it's not as large as expected; this only lasts until one gets inside'for the true size of the building is hidden in the basalt. Building the original cathedral (since modified and expanded) took 7 years and 1,612 workers. A good portion of those workers expired from being worked to [[death]]. Those that did not die while building the cathedral were sacrificed in the [[Sanctuary]]; that has since become custom for Pyrtechonites. If anything lasting must be created, following the construction, the creator must sacrifice either the craftspersons responsible or if the item in question is not for his use, commit ritual suicide in atonement.
