Temple of the Spirit

The Temple of the Spirit (Proto-Peshalic: Kital te Mooen) is an octagram-shaped building in Peshalim, Metaria. The Temple of the Spirit was built by the first kitalen, led by Peshal Oerdu Suzume, and predates the Theocracy itself. At its center lies the circle of rocks signifying the place where Metar was said to have first appeared to Peshalic nomads. One of the key tenets of Metariism is that all faithful attend a sermon at the Temple at least once in their lifetimes, if possible.

Location
The Temple is located in the center of Peshalim, atop Kital Hill. The city itself was built around the temple, first as a few nomads' huts, and growing to its current size over time. It is built of carved wood from the tropical forests surrounding the city, and its eight points are pointed in each of the ordinal directions. From each point leads a road, leading out of the city, and allowing Metari from across the continent to reach the Temple.
