Temple of Daylight (Orital Dezum Uturashanud)

== Location ==
The temple of Daylight was constructed on the day 6212. It utilises the natural geography of Theios-Essukdal deserts, the whole temple has been built on one of the highest dunes in the Urnu-Arrak county. Located on the road from Sukrath to Urnu-Arrak, it offers great coverage for pilgrims all around the desert. 
== Usage/Devotion ==
It is the 1st solar time measuring building on Rathnir. Using the height advantage, it has a clear horizon on both east and west side of the temple , making the sun unobstructed. The natural movement of the sun (and moon) determine the time of day, it starts with the sunrise and ends with sunset on the west. Outside the temple there is a statue of Wullan the angel. because it sits on a tall pole, it casts a shade that projects a dial on the ground, which is used to tell time. 
Inside the temple is the main shrine devoted to the Sharudi Faith, with 4 additional shrines to the Four Prophets. 
== Composition ==
The composition of the temple itself is an octagonal shell which merges into a spherical dome, The north face is a rectangular prostyle hexastyle entrance. the main structure is surrounded by a decorative colonnade, which is broken over the west and east entrances to allow unobstructed view outside. In the middle of the temple, there is a blue eye upon which the person stands to exactly tell the time. If the sun is seen inside the west and east doorways, it means that its sunrise/sundown, when it passes the polished diorite lining, its the start of the day (time 1000) from then on each section is an additional 1000 ticks, at 6000 ticks, the sun beams directly down.
