Celebrating the 1st anniversary of ALD1's formation~ ๐ฅณ
About
The Temple of Dawn is a reclusive church that worships Archeon, a divine entity that has existed for at least 1,000 years. The church follows a strict rule that one sacrifice must be offered every day, believing that refusing to do so will incur divine wrath. The clergy wear black vestments and cracked crosses, each handling specific duties such as church administration, preaching, counseling, records, medical care, relic management, proselytizing, and facility maintenance. While it appears to be an ordinary religious facility on the surface, inexplicable and bizarre phenomena constantly occur within its walls.
