The Sun's Hearth
A stout, circular stone sanctuary constructed from smooth grey granite and topped with a shimmering copper dome. Inside, the walls are lined with pristine white bricks that reflect the golden light of a central, waist-high iron brazier. Opposite the heavy oak entrance, an enormous golden sun is emblazoned on the wall, representing Lux, the deity of light and warmth.

The air is thick with the sweet, heavy scent of jasmine and sandalwood incense. It is remarkably warm and peaceful, feeling more like a welcoming home than a cold house of worship.

History
Divine Services
For a modest donation of 5 gold pieces to cover components, Golonna can cast Cure Wounds (1st level) or Bless. Once per week, she performs a 'Sun Blessing' ceremony that grants participants a 1d4 bonus to their next saving throw made within 24 hours.
Sacred Relics
The temple houses the 'Sunbraid Veil', a translucent white cloth that is said to have stayed dry during a great flood. It is kept in a locked glass case and used only during the Summer Solstice to wrap the icons of Lux.
Sacred Offerings
The temple accepts gifts of dried cedarwood, aromatic oils, and clear gemstones. These items are often placed in small copper bowls surrounding the central brazier as a sign of gratitude for a successful harvest or safe journey.
