The Web of Cynwy
Purpose / Function
Constructed by Salemon Saikar before the formation of the Empire, it is said that the building was considered part of the pact made with the Weavers that granted him the knowledge of Technomancy. The temple was estasblished as a place of worship, and the headquarters of what would become the The Saikar Empire's official religion, The Way of the Weavers.
Architecture
The building is designed to appear from above as a spider web, making the interior a maze of tunnels and halls that often confuse newcomers, and is used as part of a religious introspection process, whereby the devoutees wander aimlessly in meditation.
History
Viewed as hallowed ground, the building remained mostly unmolested for the period of the Saikar rule. During The Siege of Bastion, the building saw its first damage in the oribtal bombardments, and in the looting and pillaging that ensued. Following the collapse, it was regularly looted for valuables and supplies, but a strange reverence remained amongst the people, and it was left mostly undamaged physically. When the The Saikar Coalition - S.A.C formed, they adopted the religion once more and immediately set about repairing the temple.
