The city, in most ways, resembles a human city. It's a fair bit more lawless, from what they can see, and rather crude, with basic, cobblestone streets, and little in the way of proper sanitation, but is bustling with life. There's surprisingly few beggars and low-lifes on the street, likely from the packs of guards roaming infrequently, violently removing any such parasites, whenever possible; not more than a few minutes after leaving their hiding place, do they encounter a squad of five guards, mercilessly beating an older male, who looks to be rather down on his luck. No one so much as bats an eye at the sight, as they pass.<br/><br/>The temple itself is a massive, imposing complex; the main building is pyramid-shaped, with numerous smaller buildings connected to the base, surrounded by a tall, earthen wall. As they approach, they're waved through, the guards at the wall not even bothering to check who they are; it's fairly obvious, from their bearing and appearance, and this area is open to the public.<br/><br/>The flowers are held in a special room inside the pyramid, near the top floors. As they enter the courtyard, though, they can see some kind of ceremony is being performed; a number of priestesses have formed a large circle, and are chanting and singing, as they make their way to the steps, leading to the peak of the temple. Nearby, several slaves, of various races, including gnolls, are lined up, looking terrified. Soon, they'll be herded up the stairs, behind the priestesses, to meet their ultimate fate.
