Editing 40d:Temple

{{av}}{{Quality|Fine}}

A '''temple''' is a structure devoted to the worship of a [[deity]].  They are located in [[Human]] towns and [[Goblin]] fortresses.

[[Priest]]s can be found in temples, and talking to one in [[adventurer mode]] will allow you to join the local sect of their religion with the conversation topic 'Service' and begin worship of that entity. An adventurer can then converse ({{K|k}}) anywhere with any deific object of worship, though it will only respond with silence.

=== Architecture ===
Each temple will have its own architecture, where certain architectural elements are chosen depending on the spheres to which the temple belongs. A temple can use a certain architectural element because of its likeness to their worshipped spheres, but also because of an antithetical relationship to said spheres. A complete list of architectural elements, as well as their connection to different spheres, is given in the table below.

'''Note:''' though asking about a temple may mention a square of pillars or uneven pillars, these two architectural elements are '''unimplemented''' in this version of Dwarf Fortress.
