The Temple of Oma
A temple dedicated to Oma. Located in Dhai at the tip of the Fire Gate peninsula. The building itself is a living thing, made of some unknown combination of organic matter. It's connected to other temples through a living Line system. The temple's gardens are surrounded by a translucent webbing, alight with the glow of captured glowing insects. The webbings are patrolled by red spiders. Unlike the other temples, which are dedicated to training only one type of jista, the Temple of Oma trains the very best of all jistas, consolidating all the most powerful jistas into one group.
