Golden Mosque

The Golden Mosque was located in Huzuz in 1367 DR. This temple was the most spectacular house of worship on the entire continent of Zakhara.

Location
This grand temple could be found in the Pilgrim's District of the City of Delights.

Structure
True to its name, the pillars and walls of the Golden Mosque were inlaid with brilliant gold. This temple towered 90 ft. (27 m) over the other mosques and buildings in the Pilgrim's District, and was the tallest building in Huzuz. Like the rest of the exterior structure, the central dome and four tall minarets were covered with gold, shining under the intense rays of the sun for all to see and behold with awe.

Ramps led to the entrances of the mosque, allowing those who approached a splendid view of the shining dome and minarets.

Huge pillars inlaid with gold and ivory framed the main archway leading inside the mosque. Artfully crafted hallways depicted the wonders of the enlightened gods.

The huge central room of the Golden Mosque opened to the dome rising high above. Every surface within the main room was decorated with more depictions of the gods. Five thousand Zakharans could easily worship in this area at the same time.

Inhabitants
Many wealthy and well-known citizens of Huzuz came to the Golden Mosque to pray, including the Grand Caliph.

Imam Renn min Zann was the Keeper of the Mosques, though he shared much of his responsibilities with Turam min Kor. The pair of them decided on which priests of other mosques would be allowed to preach within the Golden Mosque.

Activities
The Golden Mosque was dedicated to the worship of all of the great gods of Zakhara. Services were held at dawn, the second hour, the fourth hour, noon, the second hour afternoon, the hour before dusk, at dusk, and at midnight. Each service was usually attended by thousands of worshipers.
