Temple of He who hath Strewn much Grass

Nestor: Lone Cypress (Varen Ayu).

Location: Five Dragons Courtyard (Temple District)

Description: Temple of Sextes Jylis, Immaculate of Wood. A temple of living wood, huge trees woven together over the course of centuries to create the illusion of a trunk far larger than that of any tree in Creation. The interior of the temple is a system of chambers formed amidst the trunks and roots where monks sit in meditation. At the very heart of the temple, the roots rise up amidst a vast chamber, gathering in a bowl which illuminates the ceiling with a soft green light. Within this bowl, a strange sap is gathered that is said to be the very power of essence, condensed by the temple plants into a liquid form, though one that is also deadly poisonous.

Ascent up the pillar of roots beneath the bowl is difficult indeed, for the very act of climbing shakes loose thorns as long as a man's hand, which fall upon the hapless climber. Because of this, the ascent is seen as an act of devotion, and to sip the sap is to be blessed indeed.

Meditation at this temple is undertaken by those seeking regeneration and healing, both physical and otherwise. The temple is also known as a refuge for the Disenfranchised.

The temple is located in the east of the Temple District, close to the Temple of the Herald Declaring the Exalted Way (to the northeast), the Temple of Hale and Hygienic Movement (to the southeast), the Temple of the Moon in Passage through Proscribed Phases (to the northwest) and the Temple of War (to the southwest).
