Grand Temple, Northridge

The Grand Temple of the Pantheon of Heaven faith in Northridge is anything but grand. It is, in actual fact, a series of smaller structures, most of which have not been completed in a busy and confused complex near the still under-construction city walls.   The buildings of note within the complex are the stone bell tower, two large but yet unfinished wooden temple buildings with peaked central roofs, and a large and overly oppulent Rectory  for the priests of the Grand Temple.

Purpose / Function

Intended to be the center of worship for all adherents to the Pantheon of Heaven Faith. In fact, it is a confusing mess of scattered and half-finished structures consisting of a tall, finely built and very expensive stone bell tower; a large finely crafted, ornately carved and very expensive wooden Temple with a high peaked roof of fine blue slate, and a still unfinished Rectory that was intended to house the many priests and novices that tend the Faithful, but has become a palatial home for the Grand Ecclesiast, Jem Baker.

Architecture

The only stone buildings of any note are the Rectory and the Bell Tower.  Both are built of native sandstone, finely cut and smoothly finished.  Both have fine blue slate roofs.  There are also two large wooden structures: a large, square Temple dedicated to Ayunis and Gaeta made of peeled and stained pine logs and intricately carved with scenes of creation; and a smaller but equally expensive wooden Temple dedicated to Gelum, the god of the Northwind.
