The grand temple of Akoom
Built-in 10 Dragon as a small wooden temple to Akoom, God of War in the newly found fort of Akoomtet. It started as little more than a single room with a blood-stained shrine made of weapons of the battle to free the camp. Jam-Jam built had his house built attached to the shrine to be closer to his god, and continued to expand the temple and house as the followers of Akoom became more powerful. By 500 Dragon it was a massive complex of temples and administrative rooms.

Public temple
The first part of the complex is the public temple to Akoom. The massive room is the size of most cities' main markets. Two rows of massive arches separate the room into thirds with statues of great warriors of Akoom in several. The walls are decorated with scenes of battle and victory. At the far end of the room is a massive statue of Akoom with a fresco of Akoom Knighting Jam-Jam to one side and Jam-Jam leading the charge against the Ilithid. A side door in the back leads to the rest of the complex.Grand courtyard
A large open ground, large enough to hold an army of a few thousand. The courtyard holds a platform at one end that leads into the imperial quarters and several training rings which can be removed if required.Paladin headquarters
the set of interlinked buildings to the west of the courtyard serves as the H.Q. of the Paladins of Akoom. This includes barracks, armories, weapons smiths, and training grounds. It also holds several personal quarters for higher-ranking officials in a sectioned-off area.Shrine of war
A courtyard just off the northwest of the Grand one. Mostly empty the only thing is a massive pile of bloodied weaponry. These are supposed to be the weapons of every paladin who's fallen in service of Akoom.Priest quarters
The Personal quarters of the Priests that serve the temple. This also holds a smaller personal temple for the priests as well as a vault that holds several holy artifacts for safekeeping. The heads of the priesthood also reside here.Palace of the Prophet
