Located in the heart of Gulg and visible from every dagada in the city, Sunlight Home is the dwelling of Lalali-Puy. This small wooden palace rests in the highest branches of an agafari tree that has been grown to titanic size through the queen’s magic. Few Gulgans ever see the inside of Sunlight Home (except those who request an audience with the Oba), but Lalali-Puy makes frequent addresses from her balcony. When she makes such an appearance, the people of Gulg crowd the roads and clearings around the palace to cheer their goddess.
The nganga make their huts in the lower branches of the agafari tree, shaded by the massive limbs that support Sunlight Home. The queen’s palace is bright and beautiful, but the templars’ huts are foreboding and grim, often decorated with ghoulish embellishments—bones, desiccated trophies, barely visible guardian spirits, and the like. The common folk avoid so much as looking at these huts when they pass underneath, and even the judagas tread lightly when their business requires a visit to the nganga.
