TEMPLE:
Anubis is an Egyptian god of the dead and of preservation of and care for dead bodies; his representative in this world is a former mortician and grim reaper who once ensured the safe passage of souls from the body to the afterlife. The temple itself is an embodiment of the essence of both of these individuals, of who they are and what they do and the ages between them and beyond.

The temple is situated in a forest just on the outskirts of town. It is surrounded by a massive outer stone wall that seems out of place for where it is. Yellow sand covers the ground where the walls stand and a stone path leads up to the arches to the inside. The wall is broken only by two entrance points, each guarded by two large statues of Anubis himself. Visitors will find themselves feeling watched by these statues as they approach, as if the statues are examining them and judging the person's intentions, but if the person looks up, they will see the statues have not moved.

Just past the walls, there lies the actual temple itself. It is also huge and looks to be a stone mansion. The construction material is considerably darker stone than what makes up the walls, and the sand that the outer walls stand upon has given away once again to grass the closer in to the temple one goes. The pathway itself remains stone, but the color of the stone fades until it matches the stone of the temple. Several smaller statues of Anubis stand upon small pillars all around the temple, and similar to the larger statues outside the walls, visitors will once again feel these looking at them, observing them, but if they turn to look, they will seem not to have moved at all.

Beyond a set of large, ornate double doors, decorated in all manner of hieroglyphics and Egyptian art, the scene changes even more drastically. The decoration and material forming the rooms has shifted to a wooden structure with curves and arches and carved surfaces. It looks more modern, with plants and rugs and furniture with plush seating and leather coverings. There is electricity or something providing synthetic lighting from domes in the ceiling and in the walls. Smaller statues stand here and there, set in shelves built into the walls, and they also seem to be watching, though the feeling is lessened. When one looks over to see if these statues are looking, the faces have not moved, but the eyes may have rolled to look over at them.

The farther into the temple visitors go, the more the rooms will change in style and decor. No two rooms carry the same theme, and with some it's almost as if a random room from a different time was taken out of a home and placed inside the structure where it was needed. The only rooms that maintain a common style and era are the two pillar lined halls that lead to a shrine for Anubis himself where visitors can come to offer their prayers. Strangely enough, within each room, somewhere in the room, there is an ankh, either painted on a wall or hanging from a statue or carved into the wood. It is always visible, big or small, and always in a place that cannot be removed.

All of the rooms in the temple are easily accessible to visitors with the exception of a few. The doors to Undertaker's private chambers are locked, though there is no keyhole or keypad to be found. He may still permit people to enter, if one asks nicely, and from anywhere in the temple he can hear the voices of those in Anubis's shrine.
