Temple of Shadows

The Temple of Shadows was a fortress on that served as the headquarters, training ground, and citadel of the Brotherhood of Shadows. Local lore held numerous legends about the Temple, including that it could only be found in the light of the full moon.

Structure
The Temple took up a square kilometer of land and was built of sandstone inlaid with ridges and reliefs. It was built on a mountainside and rose and sank with the terrain; the top wall was almost a hundred meters higher than the bottom wall. Like most of Anzat, the Temple was often covered in mist, reducing visibility and allowing the Anzati to easily pick off attackers and invaders. The Temple featured open colonnades and galleries, prangs, and lotus bud towers. The Brotherhood's central building was situated slightly off-center of the fortress. The full Brotherhood could meet inside; the meeting hall featured many trophies of the Brotherhood's successful kills, including lightsabers of defeated Force users and a collection of Jedi braids.

The exterior walls were high, the gates few and booby-trapped, and the parapets lined with hidden niches from which the Anzati could target interlopers.

The Temple opened onto the Abattoir with one main entrance into the rift valley that led to the Abattoir's first level. The seven exits (one from each level of the Abattoir) also led back to the Temple through various means.

The Dark Side of the Force
Due to the presence of the Abattoir nearby and the Brotherhood's own activities, the building was strong in the dark side of the Force. Darth Vandak used the Temple as his personal headquarters during his time as a, which further strengthened the Temple's connection to the dark side.
