Each Temple of the Reaching Moon is an architectural monument, a vast complex of temples, shrines, and courts that take up about 10 hectares. They follow a standard layout, that recreates the Above in the Below. The following is the usual temple layout, sketched by Greg. The top box is an enlarged view of the northern and largest temple. The complex is centered on an Inner Court, which is surrounded by numerous temples to the Lunar deities. Beyond that is the Outer court of the gods. Processional ways form axis from the Inner Court. Yara Aranis lives here, guards the temple, and anchors her webs at each temple, thereby expanding the Glowline.If I was going to compare a Temple of the Reaching Moon to anything in the real world, the mortuary temple to Hatshepshut might be a good point of comparison.
