Viens Goddess Shrine

By far the smallest shrine as the ring passages were deliberately destroyed as the capital city expanded, despite the protests of the local scholars who wanted to preserve it. Pretty much all of its relics have been sold off to various institutions, including the Vault of Knowledge in Begara and the Archives in Lanaran. The sanctum is all that is left and has become an open-air pagoda-like structure.

Purpose / Function

Built to house libraries of lost knowledge, but when they fell to ruin became dedicated to the Goddess

Alterations

Most of it has been destroyed deliberately to let the city expand and only the sanctum remains, now open-air.

Architecture

Built of the famed Gladier marble.

History

Built by House Gladier to become new libraries of knowledge to help replace what was lost during the Age of Darkness. Alas after the fall and demise of the House, the shrines fell to ruin and became historical landmarks dedicated to the Goddess.
