Temple of a Thousand Mirrors
It is a quaint Zorani assumption, that the Temple is a land filled with darkness and misery. Humans see death, and its creator as something wholly negative. It is a great surprise to many of them when faced with paintings of snow covered white towers and auburn leaves. They cannot understand that death, and things associated with it may be comforting.
Mythology
Geography
Despite it's name, the Temple of a Thousand mirrors is only a small part of the plane. The land surrounding Hareth's sanctuary is a quiet wood; red and golden leaves illuminated by the light from above. Springs of water break up the land; veins of crystalline water running throughout the woods, emanating a soft light. This water stems from the Well of Souls, sitting at the centre of the Prophetess' home. It is theorised that through these veins, the Prophetess gazes into the planes below her own, just as the planes above can be seen if one were to look up into the sky. To reach the temple, one must simply follow the water; all that flows eventually returns to the well. The actual temple is an open dome built of light, shimmering stone. Tall, framed mirrors replace the walls, showing unspeakable secrets to anyone who would dare to look within.
Thanks to rigorous studies of conjurers and the delicate art of extra-planar travel, it is known that the Temple sits at the centre of Eana, as a pathway between the "Higher" and "Lower" planes. The material plane sits just below it, and is commonly used as a hub for travel to other planes, situated further away.
