Chapter 30: Goddess of Still Waters

The Tileimen temple of the Sagmagne forest was located in the tropical jungle, near the moaning mountains where the vegetation was lush. Monkey Brush Vines grew around a road that led through the jungle and was comprised largely of humans. They were an overwhelmingly patriarchal capitalist theocratic republic that worshiped many deities, none having a clear majority at all.

The architecture of the temple was in a Pyramid formation. It could only be seen in the moonlight, the blackest obsidian, covered in bodies, it phases out of existence at midnight. It emitted quiet harpsichord music.

In front of the main gate were the holy statues of the Dragon and Tiger. The Three Pure Ones were worshipped inside. Temples were usually carved with Chinese characters like Fu (blessing), Shou (longevity), and Ji (auspicious), reflecting the theme of a long and fruitful life.
