yeah... atrium, central room, common area. Didn't know what to call it. I at least allowed myself outs for my next post. :P Wish we had more of a layout for this temple, at least it would be easier to determine where people are within it at any given time.

Take from someone who does Latin and Roman history, it's called an atrium.

[quote=Wikipedia]
In architecture, an atrium (plural: atria or atriums) is a large open space located within a building. Atria were a common feature in Ancient Roman dwellings, providing light and ventilation to the interior. Modern atria, as developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, are often several stories high and having a glazed roof and/or large windows, and often located immediately beyond the main entrance doors (in the lobby).
