Pyramid Temple of Poseidon

Place, Landmark

The largest pyramid in the world and the political heart of the Empire, silver-plated, with a golden fence around its summit temple and the orichalcum Pillar of Law in a sacred inner room. It opens to the public only on the equinoxes and solstices and is guarded by the Royal Guard.

From the book

The world's largest pyramid is also the political center of the Atlantean Empire. In a sacred chamber at its exact center stands the orichalcum Pillar of Law, a golden fence rings the temple on its summit, and its outer faces carry a thin silver plating. The public may enter only four days a year, at the solstices and equinoxes, and elite Royal Guards with halberds, short swords and scale mail keep close watch.
