Found at the center of the Arts District, the Temple of Bright Flame was the very heart of the district. An opulent cathedral-like construction with an arch-covered open roof that served as a temple to the Unconquered Sun, Luna and the Five Maidens, the interior of the temple housed a handful of temple priests, who performed sacrifices and prayers to the gods as appropriate.

The top-most crossing of arches at the top of the Manse harbored a massive ever-burning flame, powered by the raw Essence of the geomantic architecture. This flame burned golden during the day and silver at night, and was constantly orbited by five motes of flame, one in each of the colors of the Maidens. The smoke from sacrifices made on the altar directly beneath the arch floated upwards into the flame, which seemed to burn brighter for a moment when a sacrifice was offered.

The Essence of the Temple of Bright Flame is primarily channeled into the city's obelisks and then divided among the various dwellings and other buildings, in order to provide heat, light and open flame for cooking and hearths that burn without fuel.
