Dhuidunýl Ghiriniu

Tall whitestone walls rose above the cityscape of Whiteport in a perfect circle. Their surfaces were carefully painted with bright reds and hues of rose and gold to mirror the feathers of the region's sacred peafowl. Large spaces of the underlying stone was left deliberately bare, revealing its shimmer during bright summer days. The open-air theatre of Dhuiduniu welcomed its visitors with colourful, wooden doors laid open, four in all, with city guard set standing beside each entrance.

Dhuihunýl Ghiriniu was one of the last and largest of such ghirinét to be constructed in the world. Its builders had learned from generations past, and during the last years of the Silent Age finished this last monument to their fading god Bhasulud.

While colloquially known as a theatre, the true purpose of Dhuidunýl Ghiriniu was originally that of a meeting place and a place of practice for those who followed Bhasulud. With their ideology revolving around enjoyment, pleasure and beauty above all else, it wasn't unusual to walk through the doorways into a festival with the sight of dancers, scents of fine wines and sounds of drums and flutes playing beautiful melodies echoing within the walls.

The Cult of Bhasulud began to lose favor with the people since the fading of its namesake deity, and even more after the eastern faith of Juiwia arrived on the continent. Agalin epidemic during the Second Age broke the fragile balance between the new faith and the old in favor of Juiwia, and as a result the Cult of Bhasulud was forced underground with a destroyed reputation. The ghiriniu stood abandoned and without purpose for many years before being repurposed as a centre of culture and community festivals in the city.
