Midnight Temple

Asmodeus' religious symbol: the blueprint for the architecture of the Midnight Temple.

The greatest cathedral in Cheliax, the Midnight Temple is a pentagram-shaped building dedicated to Asmodeus, and one of the landmarks of Egorian. It stands northwest of Thrune Square, across from the Imperial Palace. Vents in its ceiling constantly emit sulfurous fumes. On the Black Altar in the temple, the sacrifice of nine slaves is made to Asmodeus at midnight on the first day of every ninth week.

The cathedral is the official center of Asmodeus's church on Golarion, and as such Grand High Priestess Aspexia Rugatonn is personally in charge. Since she has many other political and administrative duties, she rarely runs it personally, leaving it to a highly regimented bureaucracy of underlings.
