The Temple of Rakasuul

Known simply as the 'Temple' it is dedicated to the dark gods of Ju
The guards wear outlandish feather uniforms and are known as 'budgies'.
From The Middle Kingdom
The
Temple of Rakasuul was the biggest buildings in Ju after the Royal Palace and
Jenan. It had the tallest structure in the city, the central minaret, from
which the rich were ceremonially cremated or individual sacrifices were made.
The
whole building was an intensely disturbing edifice, smelling as it did of
incense and blood. It was dedicated to the Juian god of disease, Mirac. The
cellars were said to be dedicated to Huraj, and the whispered stories told of
entrances to the underworld hidden beneath the temple foundations. Inside it
was home to not only the gaudily dressed priests and the costumed guards, but
the corpsewitches as well, women, whom it was said, sold poisons and potions
and knew the magic of bringing people back from the dead.
The
steps up to the main entrance were so steep and narrow that people had to turn
their feet sideways to climb up them. He had been told this was a deliberate
design feature, to make people feel uneasy and out of breath by the time they
reached the Temple itself.
