The Temple Of Mangar
[Exits: north south]
You are in the southern end of the temple hall in the Temple of Midgaard.
The temple has been constructed from giant marble blocks, eternal in
appearance, and most of the walls are covered by ancient wall paintings
picturing Gods, Giants and peasants.

Large steps lead down through the grand temple gate, descending the huge
mound upon which the temple is built and ends on the temple square below.
A delicious magic mushroom is here.

Within the Light
[Exits: south]
A soft, warm golden light fills this round chamber. Cascading down from above, 
the gentle rays of the morning sun pour in through an open oculus in the dome 
ceiling. Wide channels of clear crystal set in the ceiling and walls carry the 
light downward, bathing the entire sanctum in pure, glowing, harmonious light. 
The material of the structure around you is made of a stone you cannot discern. 
It has the silky texture of marble, but none of its coldness. Archways lead to 
various other parts of the building, presumably living quarters for those who 
dwell here.
(Purple Aura) An ornate bronze sundial rests in the center of the chamber.
