Entries
There is the main entrance and a couple side entrances and exits. Some of those exits are unaccessable unless you've gone though the temple as they lead to private gardens. All of them are reinforced in case the city is assaulted, to protect the temple's priests and priestesses who are unskilled in combat.
Sensory & Appearance
The lightning is very dim as the Lhingril Eledhrim do not like the light. The only reason there is any light at all is for their brothers and sisters from the other four tribes who are not adapted to see in the dark can find their ways.

The main hall has an alter and chairs scattered about, so that worshipers can feel most comfortable conducting their worship.
