Spring garden temple

The Spring garden temple at the Temple square in Northbark is one of Brigid's places of worship.
The building is three stories high and build from stone in an 18th century (earth time) style with a slanted roof and large symmetric windows. The front is decorated with a large golden sun clock (clock shaped like a sun) and gold leaf embellishments around the window and door frames.

The interior

The Spring Garden is an open space from floor to ceiling with two wide, wooden walkways at the second floor and third-floor level. Nearly the entirety of the walls is covered by murals of spring fields, young animals and legends involving Brigid or one of the gods under her.   The ground floor level has a variety of indoor flower beds that will start to bloom in spring and summer. At the centre of this floor is a large stone altar for offerings to Brigid with an old wishing well at its centre.   The upper wooden walkways have a multitude of altars for locally worshipped middle and minor ranked gods that fall under Brigid's authority. This includes Cirb, the King of sheep, and Torc Triath, the king of boars.   The stone wall seen by the public at the back of the temple is actually fake. It is a wooden dividing wall exquisitely painted to look like a stone wall painted with murals. There is a hidden door on the right side of this wall over which is painted a large oak tree.
Behind this wall are the resting quarters for those working at the temple as well as storage rooms for incense and the likes and an archive with records of legends, sightings and miracles.
Northbark
Northbark was founded as a small village along the trading road used by those who lived in the mountains 590 years ago. Due to its location next to a large river, it quickly grew into a large trading post.
After a mere 175 years, it had grown to be the largest city of the kingdom Jäätälumi and the ruler officially chose it as the capital city and settled down there. This remained the same even after violent changes in sovereignty.
