For all outward appearances, the temple of The Fallen Sky is certainly architecturally impressive: A flawless marble temple with marble roof tiles; Ionic columns of 18 meters with carved bands atop form an 8 by 20 design. A spectacular frieze is carved on all sides and beautifully sculpted figures decorate the acroteria and pediments. This construction is majestic with one possible defect: while a false porch can be included for aesthetic balance, this temple has two and no entrance!
The lack of entryway is not the only odd feature of the temple. Studies made of the decorative frieze and figures reveal changes but no one know when or how. Those ambling through the ambulatory frequently describe feeling uncomfortably constricted by the columns. Any who spend a lengthy time near the temple begin feeling inexplicably desolate or frustrated. Of course, the most disturbing truth about the temple of The Fallen Sky is that it appeared in Arborea when the pantheon of Olympus disappeared.
The Fallen Sky has other mysteries.
Near the back (front?) of the temple, a scenic, tended trailway begins at a gazebo and leads to the mountains. Onto these mountains are carved stairways for all beings great and small. The stairs eventually lead to a plateau where the sky is always heavily overcast. Daily from mid morning to mid afternoon, clouds part to reveal colossal golem of black rock. The golem is Tartaros, the lord of caverns and warden of Carceri; he appears as an animate onyx or obsidian statue. Accompanying him always is Tartaros's son Typhon, god or tornadoes, who appears as a black-haired storm giant.
Typhon typically sulks silently while Tartaros soundlessly receives questions from those present. Only one question per individual is allowed; if the Warden accepts the question he nods and more clouds part to reveal the deity who will answer. Unacceptable questions result in a shake of his head; the individual is then expected to alter the query or leave. Unruly individuals will be removed forcibly by Kampe (and/or another enforcer) and should consider themselves fortunate if that is all that occurs. The latter two circumstances are fortunately infrequent. (Be forewarned that answers may be dissatisfying: “I do not know” or “I may not divulge that now” or “I can not disclose that perhaps ever” are not unheard answers.)
