Temple of the Sun
"The light of the Beacon dances upon the high towers, and the light is scattered across the island and the surrounding sea. Many travellers seek passage to Isles of Dawn only to see its magnificence during the first day of the year. And they all are welcomed with open hands and warm embraces. It is a home to everyone seeking comfort, help or hope in the darkness of Evernight."
Kalakchios Marakos
Purpose / Function
Temple of the Sun serves as the main cathedral for all serving Lyraki Daylord and all those, who seek his help in the dark world. Usually it is also a place where Dawnwatcher, the High Priest of Daylord, can be found, although the current Dawnwatcher Kalakchias Marakos is present only seldom.
Architecture
Temple of the Sun is a grandiose stone building made mostly out of lightstones. The whole walls and the roof light up with the light of sun during the Beacon, and they shed their light to the whole island and seas surrounding it. High pillars of refined lightstones hold the roof a loof, and everything is build that so the light of the sun can touch them during the first day of the year.
History
Temple of the Sun was first established to the island of God's Fist in early 7th Millenia right after the Great Cataclysm. After the world was in shambles the clergy of Daylord thought that they needed a safe haven to offer for those who where suffering in the wake of the catastrophe.
