The Temple of the Lion God

The Temple of the Lion God is the administrative heart of the city-state of Urik. Highly decorative, imposing and made of marble and obsidian, the temple sits just inside of Destiny's Kingdom and is most often the farthest any non-government officials will get to see of the entire palace complex. 

From here, the High Templars of the various bureaus guide hundreds of templars in managing all aspects of daily life in Urik. The temple’s numerous rooms contain all of the official records within the city that include: slave purchases, business transactions, property records, copies of judicial rulings, legal interpretations, criminal dispositions, water distribution, farming, public works and a host of other functions. The temple also houses many of the city-state’s governmental offices, public hearing rooms and petition chambers. Although open to the public, few come to hear sermons about the coming glory, the value of order, and invocations to war. Other than templars, most visitors are nobles and merchants, and occasionally a freeman or visiting diplomat who require the services found in this building as well.
