Asuhi
"...the temple built for Isran during the first years of the Ausan Dynasty. Unlike that of lesser gods, worship and prayer to her wasn’t considered a priority unless it was done at the temple. Those who lived too far away to attend the temple with ease were able to ask the Diviners in their cities to pray for them and it was seen as just as effective as going to the Asuhi. Nine white marble columns were equally spaced out in front of each of the temple’s walls, holding up the long, rectangular roof. A nonagon star was chiseled on each column’s base. The frieze carved along the length of the roof depicted the ancient story of Isran choosing humans from animals and elves, furthering their evolution as a species, the war that followed, and the kingdom being established by Malia’s ancestors. Isran was the largest figure on the frieze, lesser deities far smaller than her, humans smaller still. Diviners who lived at the temple took care of the acre-long grounds entirely, from its upkeep to weekly services."
