ROCK CUT TEMPLE (CG tier level) (Patreon)
Content
Today a desert, but once a wealthy land. Even though the realm has never been too fertile, if it has a strong ruler and a steady state the lands can grow rich, too. However, a firm and solid-state must stand on many grounds, and thus a powerful monarch needs some supernatural support, as well. This way the temple itself is an audience hall to a god.
The temple sits in the valley of an old river that dried out aeons ago. Its walls had been carved out from the rock itself. After entering this sacred site, the devout masses could show their piety taking three possible paths:
To the left, now on collapsed stairs the small shrines and cells had once been posing as likeness to the temple. Greatness of the church had been on display here. Sacrifices were offered in the alcoves, with friars living in solitary confinement behind the larger ones for atonement for their believed sins. The stairs represented a common man’s journey to fulfilment in life. Of course sometimes these stairs go down, as the midst of the hall is no home for glory, either. Had this been a place for bodies to be tossed? Or did they just die tumbling down by accident?
The room on the right represents how secular power turns divine. The faithful formed groups here on their own following their hearts’ and sometimes their masters’ desires. They bowed in unison before the powers commanding their world. Peasants, warriors, clerks, and clergy showed their respects the same way other nobles did - they all understood hierarchy.
Those going straight will see the true face of the god.
This massive pack contains 5 maps, and you can add a completely different feel to them by adjusting the colors with Editor. Those who have supported all of my creations get two exclusive scenes, the Burial Chamber with the pyramids and the western, vault-like chamber. (Will be sent out in a private message)

Status report on the new DD Editor:
You can not download the app yet, but the Steam store site has been approved and public. Minor changes are needed in the software because of problems with the built-in links that directed users to my Patreon. We had to remove those links and resubmit for approval. I'm, sorry, I really hope that you will not have to wait long for it, I'm doing my best.
Thank you for your continued, generous support!
