Temple of Kazrai

The Temple of Kazrai was a central religious and cultural building in Enkhara Na'wen, the capital of Daispin. Built by the Kazraiin dynasty monarchs centuries before the, the temple served as a hub for numerous Tantaari religious rites, including celebrating the harvest festival, investing heirs apparent, and crowning new monarchs.

When Tristarian Zelon won the Battle of Enkhara Na'wen in 92 ABY, he sacked and razed the temple as a demonstration of power over the Tantaari, leaving only four towering stone pillars and stadium seats in what had once been an ornate religious building. Zelon and his successor, Genera Seithe, left the ruined temple as a reminder of the fate awaiting those who defied them.

Seithe's half-Tantaari daughter, Aria Nikina, overthrew her father and became Queen of Daispin in 136 ABY. Rather than rebuild the temple, however, Aria left it as it was, believing its current state—overgrown with wild flora—was emblematic both of the struggles the Tantaari had been through and their new life under her rule. The populace was allowed to use the temple for religious and cultural rites again, and some Humans participated as well. Aria was formally crowned at the temple, and in 158 ABY, her daughter Sonata was invested as crown princess in the temple.
