Temple of the Third Eye

One of the few temples to Iasakell remaining on Varys, and by far the largest of them, the Temple of the Third Eye in Sakharria is the heart and soul of the scattered Iasunti tribes and the site of frequent pilgrimages by them. Although citizens of the Golden Land are forbidden from worshipping the Angel of the Third Eye, Iasunti pilgrims perform frequent services here themselves - a loophole permitted by the city authorities in return for the news and trade that the pilgrims bring. It is sometimes joked that the temple is the capital of the 'Iasunti Nation' - and in fact there is some truth to this suggestion, since this safe meeting point allows the various Iasunti tribes a much-needed chance to rearm and regroup, exchange information and perhaps even recruit new members.

Standing above the temple is the Queen of the Golden Hunt, a massive golden statue of Iasakell that is easily the most recognisable landmark in the city.
