Temple of Flies and Sky

Purpose / Function

A center of medical learning and research for many diseases, and as an operating foothold for the Blue Bound.

Design

Cone Design

The temple is of an overall bell-shape form due to the blue canvas stretched over several free standing stone pillars and walls on the different concentric terrace levels.

Entries

Depressed Stairs

Four staircases are dug deeper into the ground than each quarter of the temple's terrace circumference. This makes the walker have to descend inorder to ascend, and makes the approaching walls and hall appear taller than they were.

Sensory & Appearance

Blue Colour

The blue devil was the first of the painted diseases to emerge from the Cold Swamp via late stage surveyors. Their emerging from the wilds with a blue colouration was initially attributed to the frosty conditions they encountered.
The blue devil left an indelible mark on the High Hill societies. Once all the plagues ran their course, the people who remained rebuilt with remainders to their collective trauma in their traditions and institutions.

Denizens

Cloud Clans

The temple is staffed with priestesses, dancers and servants recruited directly from the four hills.

Other Subjects

Prisoners and desperate volunteers are isolated from the rest of the temple population and kept under carful watch.

Contents & Furnishings

Obelisks

Following the Talons, the blue temple's support are the blue bleached bricks from where the roofs' rigging are attached.

Canvas Ceiling

Several segmented sheets of overlapping dyed hides tied so tightly as to be rain and wind resistant.

Architecture

Terraces

The building's foundation was thinned out from a rock outcropping on the Jaujamong side of the Ñuñu Hills. A seven tier step pyramid acts as the base for where the pillars are built and as the floor for the levels.
