Iwakunin Temple

Nestor: Segmental Arch (Ragara Dango).

Location: Western Market, Imperial City.

Description: Once a small shrine located near the Western Market, patronage from House Ragara has transformed it over the centuries into a well-off place of worship for businessmen and craftsmen of all classes, who find themselves in need of nearby religious services as they work the stalls and businesses of the Western Market.

The name Iwakunin itself predates the rise of the Scarlet Empress, when the cult of a local commerce spirit held the shrine. Though the Immaculate Order now controls the site and keeps the spirit officially bound to its proper allocations in the Prayer Calendar, but ancient traditions and superstitions still creep in amongst the merchants and hawkers of the surrounding streets, particularly those shaken by crushing losses in their business undertakings... while laypeople ostensibly come here to meditate on financial affairs and personal growth, a few whispered prayers occur in the surrounding alleyways, petitioning for improvement of material condition or commercial success.
