And here's the new holy site:

You might be wondering how this will benefit King Akol. It'll attract a lot of pilgrims, that's the main of it.

[b]Appearance:[/b]
The holy site of Loralom spire is made up of a complex of bridges, gazebos, and towers made out of a similar self-healing porcelain as the holy site of Cornerstone. The structures are contained within a crater nearly five hundred metres in diameter, flowing with freshwater streams from around Loralom. The architecture is suitably majestic, featuring smooth arches and columns designed to please the hain eye. No matter the weather upon the site, all of the white porcelain remains immaculately clean.

Four main bridges span the crater’s waters from the edge of the crater to the central spires, pointing in all four cardinal directions. They are each around eighteen metres wide. Four more narrow bridges slope in an arch from the edge of the crater to the central complex's lower floors.

The spires count eleven in total. Eight minor spires stand sentinel at the head of each bridge, standing around fifty metres tall and less than ten metres across. They are solid and have no discernible purpose. The two great spires flanking the centre are four hundred metres tall from bottom to top and, though built with solid thick walls and a web of supports, are honeycombed with rooms, stairs, halls, and narrow windows. This space is furnishable and was not long empty before the local Loralom hain established a monastery to Toun within them.

The central spire, named "Akol’s Spear" by the locals, appears to be the source of the holy site’s power. It is shorter than the twin great spires, reaching three hundred and forty metres high, but it is not for living in. Its tapered double-edged shape holds within its mostly-hollow structure a glowing blue stone. The tower's base is open from all sides, held up by a set of columns. Its inside walls are covered completely with perfect red Tounic calligraphy.

All porcelain parts of the holy site make up an unbroken solid lodged into the ground.

[b]Description:[/b]
When the Marked Hain Edda landed on the shores of Yorum, her quest led her to King Akol the Young, leader of the beleaguered city state, Loralom. Edda was shown the utter despondency of Loralom’s situation; a traumatised populace, attacks from all sides, near daily death by combat, and survival only by the King’s talent at commanding a battlefield. All the same, she challenged King Akol to place his faith in Toun. To spite Edda where she stood, Akol dropped to pray to Toun, declaring his intentions to build his Loralom to greatness with or without him and that he would only help Toun and Edda if he was given a 'spear that shatters the earth' and the resources to secure his homeland. King Akol expected his exorbitant request to be answered with silence. Toun, however, answered his bluff, causing the Loralom Spire complex to burst out from under the ground.

Loralom Spire is a holy site of Toun, costing fourteen might points and yielding seven might points per turn. Its passive effects are fundamentally different from Cornerstone, save for its regenerating ability, renewing lost or broken materials.

The huge blue stone in the central spire glows similarly to the eyes of a droningbird. They provide a similar effect for Toun, allowing him to look through the stone, though it carries a more powerful sight to it. Looking through the spire stone allows Toun to see through arbitrary amounts of solid materials to a radius of two hundred kilometres. Incidentally, Toun can directly view any pilgrims that pray under the stone.

If a worshipper of Toun sits underneath the stone for long enough in quiet contemplation, the Tounic symbols on the inside of the spire influence their minds. They gain artificial memories of three things: A glimpse of themselves in a better position, their greatest weakness, and a flash of a peaceful and safe society, all devoid of context. Hain monks that reside in the spires believe this to be a glimpse into the future. In reality, it is merely the symbols telling a mortal mind to forge the memories around a particular prefabricated template, using their existing memories to personalise them.

The symbols themselves are near-incomprehensible to mortals when taken in as a whole. However, the symbols may be deciphered individually, allowing the Loralom monks to delve into Tounic calligraphy and its powers on their own.

[b]Flaw:[/b]
There is no obvious flaw to the spires, except that its motives are not in plain sight. Toun could have mimicked its effects with a different creation at far less cost. The significance as a holy site is clear enough, but given that far more power was poured into it than Cornerstone for much milder effects on those within, an inquisitive divine might wonder to what other secret functions the rest of the power went.
