An old sanctum where the priests of the Zumion Temple held meetings and prayed until it was destroyed by Meslamtaeda, leaving only a few stepping stones and pillars. Following Meslamtaeda's invasion, the surviving priests sealed Meslamtaeda's Poison Blood in the Purifying Altar, but the seal has since broken, resulting in a dangerous place filled with leaking poison and rampaging Guardite.
