Great Temple of Windpine
Purpose / Function
One of the largest temples on Panagea, it is a place of worship for many Raptors.
Design
The grand hall is home to most of the stained glass all Divine Raptors that have ever existed, with many plain windows in place for future Divine Raptors to go on. The room is very long and split into different sections based on the era that each Raptor lived in. There are currently five sections, with more to come as needed. The room is all white but is given color by the many stained glass windows and artwork hung around the room. There are also pedestals to display items that were of particular value to each Raptor.
Entries
There is just one entrance/exit in the room that is guarded at all times. There are guards outside of the room and within it as well to prevent the destruction or theft of the items inside.
Sensory & Appearance
There is a great deal of natural light in this room due to the high volume of windows. The large amount of sunlight also makes the room rather warm.
Denizens
The room is mostly visited by patrons, but many monks and other spiritual leaders visit. It is a special occasion when a Divine Raptor visits.
Contents & Furnishings
The room has a few benches for people to rest on, but most of the room consist of artwork.
Valuables
Most of the valuables consist of the paintings and items of value for the Divine Raptors.
Alterations
The building is quite old, so many of the stones and stained glass pieces have had to be replaced.
Architecture
The building itself consists mostly of white marble. Many of the windows are adorned with stained glass depictions of Windpine's life, both before and after his transformation into a Divine Raptor. There is also a room full of windows and plaques dedicated to past and future Divine Raptors who's deeds are to be remembered for many centuries to come.
History
The temple is dedicated to the first Divine Raptor, Windpine. Windpine was a devout monk who worshiped the creator deities Moonsong and Sunhope, sisters who created the world and all of its life. Windpine was an Arial Raptor who lived his life in dedication to helping those in trouble who would come to the shrine he and other monk watched over. He left the shrine to help those far and wide, and in doing so he became the first Raptor to gain energy bending powers and become Divine. His many shows of great strength and kindness lead to his popularity the world over by the time of his death. The temple was build to honor his work so that none would forget of his great deeds to help all Raptors of the planet.
