Temple of Loveliness

A temple to the god Oukranos. It is built of jasper wood, and stands near the edge of the river Oukranos. The temple's walls and courts cover an acre of ground and encompass seven pinnacled towers which surround the central shrine. Through this shrine, directed by hidden channels, run the waters of the river.
By day the temple stands drowsy and silent. But often, at night, the air surrounding the temple is filled with a strange music. No one can say if this music is made by the priests of the temple or if it is the song of the god, for no human has entered the temple and seen the priests except the King of Ilek-Vad. The King, borne on a golden palanquin, comes from his distant land once a year to pray. It is said that the King of IlekVad knew this region as a youth, and that the god Oukranos sang him to sleep each night.
