The Sepluchre of the Sun

The Sepulchre of the Sun:

The Sepulchre of the Sun is a golden colored sphere twenty-five feet diameter that glows faintly with a yellow hued light. The material of the sphere is unknown, but it appears to be a form of raw iron that is cold to the touch, a stark contrast to the warmth that the light provides. The name is derived from the first pilgrims as they believe the gods left a piece of the sun entombed to inspire mortals .Their faith strengthen by the fact the Sphere glows with it's greatest intensity during the noonday sun. It then slowly dims towards sunset and only giving off a faint glow throughout the night. The Sphere is impervious to damage and immune to all magic and despite is round form, no one has been able to move the sphere.

The Sepulchre of Sun is the holiest artifact in the Empire's antiquity. Maestro's of the Halls of Domani believe that the Sepulchre of the Sun predates the Empire of Infinite Sky by about two thousand years. Early records show that all races from Aul'Thessilax came to worship the Sepulchre as the embodiment of the sun. This tradition manifests today as the once in a lifetime pilgrimage to the Holy City of Solaris, which has grown through the years around the Sepulchre. All citizens of the Infinite Sky make this pilgrimage.

The Sepulchre of the Sun rests in the Gardens of Tranquility, near the Great Temple of the Sun.
