Temple Square
the Temple Square
You stand in the heart of Midgaard’s Temple Square, the spiritual center of the great city. A magnificent marble fountain dominates the center of the square, its crystalline waters catching the light as they cascade down carved stone tiers. The fountain depicts ancient heroes and divine figures, their faces worn smooth by countless years of weather and the touch of reverent hands.
Stone benches line the square’s perimeter, offering rest to weary travelers and contemplative pilgrims. Ornate pillars support covered walkways that provide shelter from sun and rain. To the north, the grand Temple of Midgaard rises majestically, its towering spires reaching toward the heavens. The sound of chanting occasionally drifts down from within.
The square bustles with activity - merchants hawking blessed trinkets, pilgrims seeking divine guidance, and adventurers preparing for journeys into unknown lands. A temple guard keeps watchful eye over the proceedings, while a young acolyte tends to the fountain with quiet devotion.
To the south, you can hear the lively sounds of commerce from the Market Square, while residential streets stretch to the east and west, promising rest and refreshment for those who seek it.
