The temple of the Cypress Sisterhood is a large structure in a square shape that appears more like a single storey fortress then a temple. With columns of marbles running down its interior walls in order to create alcoved walkways down the sides of the wings, the decoration and grandeur of the temple is found on the inside, leaving the outside flat and cold, outward-facing walls, with windows large enough for light but too small for access. The temple is maintained by Initiatives and Priestesses alike as well as slaves kept on site. The four sections of the temple are dedicated to the front receiving and treatment rooms, the quarters belonging to the servants, slaves and eunuchs, the living rooms of the priestesses - dining chambers, council rooms etc. - and the bedrooms for the priestesses. In the centre of it all stands a Cypress tree, white with age and adored as a symbol of the Goddess to whom all within the walls of the temple dedicate their life to.
