While Wandering the Wilds

Examining the archway you find nothing of noteworthy. Figuring most traps would be on the inner chambers or vaults you move cautiously into the room. The large room has multiple high windows. Some are filled with translucent quartz while others are sloped down so that they allow air in but have not direct passage to the outside, likely to prevent rain and too much wind form entering. The walls are covered with murals carved into their surfaces from about knee height and above while a section about a foot high below these contains text, both in the high script and basic script.

In my setting few can actually read. There is however a "basic script" that uses ideograms and simple symbols that most understand at least a little. Test to read any base script

The room you entered is actually a large gallery, more like an indoor plaza, that goes around the entire perimeter of the pyramid and stretches up to high above you so it feels almost like open air . In the middle of this chamber is another temple. The three story building is another pyramid 60' to a side and 30' tall but lack a tip. It is covered in intricate carving and has large bronze doors on each side. Around the plaza/gallery there are multiple alcoves set into the outside wall that contain small alters, benches, tables, scultures, and other stonework items. The main area of the gallery is empty. Again the cleanliness of the area is brought to mind as the entire area is free of dust or other signs of the passage of time. As you look around you feel a peaceful felling settle over you. It is very gentle and subtle to the point you might have missed it were it not for the oppressive felling you felt in the city outside the temple.


You hear a faint humming echo through the chamber and draw back so you are in the enty passage. Peering into the gallery you try to trace the sound but the echos make this difficult and you almost miss the small figure moving from one alcove to the next in a slow and measured pace. The figure is average height for a human and wears dull tan robes and leather sandals. In their arms they hold a small basket and you see a few handles and cloth covered bundles sticking out of it.
