¶ Description
Large stone exterior double doors open into a 10x15 trapezoidal entryway. A second set of double doors, these doors are made of well polished metal, inlaid with large gems on either door, open into the temple. The shape of which is a 7 sided gem. The full length of the room is 50', full width is 40'. There are 7 pillars, spaced evenly 10' apart, throughout the room encircling a set of 7 pews. The pillars are intricately carved, each inlaid with a single type of gem, and each embossed with a different type of precious metal. The stone pews are facing a dais, consisting of seven sets of short stairs, cut in a smaller pattern matching the shape of the room. There is a pulpit on the landing, in the same 7 sided shape of the room, but pointing back towards the entryway. On either of the longer diagonal sides of the room, there are doors leading to storage rooms and quarters for the clerics of the temple.

¶ Future Plans
Further construction will see larger dorms for the clerics, a showroom that will display powerful artifacts or precious gems dedicated to Dumathoin, a standalone kitchen, deeper store room, space for the needy and destitute. The pillars continue to fill with gems and embossed with metal as more is donated to the temple. There will be a corresponding pew, and small step up the dais for each different pillar, as funds become available. Who knows, maybe each of the 7 walls will correspond to one of the pillars, maybe each side of the pulpit too.
