A hill on the banks of the Oukranos. Here stands the Temple of Loveliness to the god Oukranos. Oukranos is one of many small regional gods which inhabit the Dreamlands, and his influence does not extend beyond the river valley which bears his name. His temple is built of jasper wood, and stands near the edge of the river. The temple's walls and courts cover an acre of ground and encompass seven pinnacled towers which surround the central shrine. Though this shrine, directed by hidden channels, run the waters of the river.
By day the temple stands drowsy and silent. But often, at night, the air surrounding the temple is filled with a strange music. No one can say if this music is made by the priests of the temple or if it is the song of the god, for no human has entered the temple and seen the priest except the King of Ilek-Vad. The King, borne on a golden palanquin, comes from his distant land once a year to pray. It is said that the King of Ilek-Vad knew this region as a youth, and that the god Oukranos sang him asleep each night.
