Temple Level - Middle Tier
In the centre of the Temple level, where the upper tier blocks the sky, is where the highest temple to Ignis is – the Mosque of the Burning Passion. The High Priest Issthhmaar, is a Blazing Salamander with a strong connection to both Ignis, and the Pure Essence of Fire. While the Emir of the Salamanders is Ssithmatar, and he technically has more authority, the amount of Influence that Issthhmaar possesses surpasses Ssithmatar, and is close to rivalling The Great Sultan himself. Despite this imbalance of power Issthhmaar and Ssithmatar have a very good relationship and work together as much as possible.
The Temple level is also home to the Mosque of Embers, a temple to Ignis where the prophetess Lady Fireeyes lives. Lady Fireeyes is a one of a kind Fire Weird who can share prophecies and visions to those she deems worthy. As Weirds cannot speak she has servants who will speak on her behalf, showing her prophecies as visions in the flames that dance around her. She shows glimpses of the future but, as most visions the entire picture is not provided. Payment for an audience with Lady Fireeyes varies depending on the person and what they are seeking to learn. There is no bargaining with Lady Fireeyes and her demands may seem whimsical to those on the outside. Many people are unwilling to pay what she requires and they end up making the dangerous trek to her for nothing. It is considered a great honour to be the eyes and ears of Lady Fireeyes and her servants, many of whom come to her from birth, show a great perception of those around them, as well as a level of empathy that can surprise many people.
