Mosque of Kor the Old
High Priest Imam Gogal is aided by 13 associates, 60 clerical brethren, and 150 lay brethren (members of the church hierarchy without clerical abilities).
The mosque of Kor is dedicated to wisdom. Age is venerated, for the preaching of this mosque says that one should seek the wisdom of the elders.
The first floor of the mosque is mostly given over to a worship area. Since the mosque actively supports the dancing dervishes, services always consist of a holy dance. There are seats for the faithful all around the floor, but the true worshipers are not afraid to join in the dance. The back of the dance area is covered by a huge tapestry depicting Kor granting wisdom to the other gods.
The basement is where the clerical brethren are quartered; lay brethren have other accommodations in the Pilgrims' District. The high priests are located on the top floor, which also holds Imam Gogal's room. The second floor is open to the dome, and from the top of the dome hangs the temple's greatest treasure. It is an enchanted chandelier, in the form of a crystal sunburst, which plays music on command. It can repeat a song as many times as needed, the command word must be coupled with the title of the piece. Recording and erasing are accomplished the same way. Only those of high priest station and above are taught the command words. In addition, the chandelier chimes if anyone who is not enlightened enters the temple.
