The Temple of the Way in Nemoria

The temple is built of white granite, patterned after the Basilica of Seven Doors in Bastion, albeit on a smaller scale. An outer ring of seven shrines, each consecrated to one of the seven virtues, surround a single great hall beneath a white marble dome dedicated to the Way itself. Where the Basilica in Bastion stands at the heart of a public park, the Temple in Nemoria is surrounded by a marble-paved plaza with four beautiful fountains.

The shrines dedicated to each of the virtues contain prominent statues of the renowned paragons, and smaller statues of the renowned exemplars. The central hall, dedicated to the Way, contains fewer statues. Used as an auditorium and lecture theatre, the space is intentionally kept empty but the walls of the Hall of the Way are decorated with a number of beautiful marble frescos depicting the mysteries of the Labyrinth, and the Doctrines of the Faith. Regular sermons are held here for the benefit both of local followers of the Way (a minority in Asavea), and guests interested in learning more of the Imperial faith.

While there is some animosity from some of the local priests - the Way is closely associated with various slave rebellions and with the hated Sumaah Republic in the eyes of many Asaveans - the temple proved moderately popular with the Nemorian populace. This is most likely due to its novelty value than from any deep interest in learning more about the foreign religion, however. This novelty value persisted until Summer 383YE when news reached the Empire than an angry mob had attacked the temple and seriously damaging it, injuring and in one case killing the priests assigned to support it.
