Grand Temple of Justice Building / Landmark in Tarien | World Anvil

Grand Temple of Justice

A stark contrast to the Fortress of Truth that stands at the south end of the park in the center of Mennith, the Grand Temple of Justice is made of white marble, it exterior exquisite polished and meticulously landscaped. Two white pillars stand at either side of its golden doors,, atop the Hundred Steps of Truth that one must climb to enter.
 
Grand Temple of Justice
 
As the center of the Mennithite faith, the interior of the temple is divided into several sections. First and foremost is a great hall of worship. Filled with golden candlesticks and ancient relics, the great hall glitters in lamp light and is a testament to the power and glory of truth and justice. Always open to the pubic, several sanctuaries exist for private prayer. The main area of worship, however, contains four rows of long pews with seating for over a thousand worshipers.
 
Beyond this hall lay the offices of the church where the priesthood manages the business of the faith. Confessors bustle throughout these meeting rooms, offices, and small libraries ensuring that the truth spreads from the church throughout the Grand Duchy. The second story in the back serves as the personal apartments for clergy that live at the temple, with the third floor reserved for the Lord Justice and his personal staff and guests.
 
The cellars below the temple contain both ample food stores as well as crypts for the most faithful of Mennith's servants. It is said they descend several stories below ground and contain untold treasures and relics that have passed into the churches hands over the centuries.
