Temple of 'Ygiroth

A great beehive-shaped temple in 'Ygiroth.
== Description ==
A gentle ramp leads up from the now-deserted streets to a tall narrow trapezoidal opening into the main hall. The main hall is an enormous chamber cluttered with many pentagonal columns arranged with an oddly asymmetrical regularity. Around the perimeter of the hall stand seven statues of kyresh, some with their mouths agape and eyes glaring and others blindfolded. A natural aisle leads between the columns toward the altar at the rear of the temple. Atop this seven-sided altar stands a robed and hooded figure bearing a spear in one hand and a small figure of a buopoth in the other. A successful Cthulhu Mythos or Dreamlands Lore roll will identify the statue as The Thing in the Yellow Mask.
Before the altar lies a large oval opening with stone steps which spiral down into the depths of the Mount Lerion. At the bottom of these steps is a labyrinth of narrow passages and low-ceilinged rooms. At the center of this labyrinth is a hall almost as large as the main hall above, complete with columns, kyresh statues, and an altar. Before this altar is a stone slab suggestive of even deeper regions waiting to be penetrated. The most striking feature of this room is the walls, which are covered with an inscription in the ancient Aklo tongue. The 'Ygiroth Inscription is written in the crude strokes of the ‘Ygirothian scribes, and tells much of the feeble gods of the Dreamlands, the Outer Gods who guard them: Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, and Nyarlathotep. It also contains secrets taught to the 'Ygirothians which, if they had had the intelligence, would have enabled them to become the masters of the Dreamlands and possibly the waking world.
