Sprawl: Temple of War
A-01
--------
The Temple of War is a shiny black pyrimidal structure, roughly
ten stories high. It has no openings other than two huge bronze
double doors at its entrance. No embellishments mar the outside
of the building. Inside, on the first floor is the Shrine and
Garden of War, a collection of different rooms depicting in
sculpture, painting, trideo, holo, and mosaic the history of
war. The Temple of War is not actually related to religion.
The Temple of War is an organization, a brother/sisterhood of
profesional mercenaries. The Temple acts as an exclusive agent
for these mercenaries. As well as contracting business the Temple
acts as a support organization, club, etc...
Members of the Temple of War are quite secretive about what goes
on there
Members are not xenophobic or isolationist in regards to others -
only this part of their lives remains a secret. Joining
requirements are also a mystery.
The Temple is outfitted with the kind of security most megacorps
dream of, as well as having excellently trained guards.

on their, and about what is on other floors of the building.

I dont know if it just my terminal, but DJ Altmans longer posts seem to be
mangled at the end of them. Does anyone else have this problem.

By the way, that post on the Temple Of War sound interesting.

Adeus.

Again, I like it, but again, the end was cut off. It seems that a
number of paragraphs were deleted, except for the last line of what I
assume is the last paragraph.

Yep, I would guess it's a problem with his editor, I could be wrong though.

Sure does.

Sprawl: Temple of War
A-01

The Temple of War is a glossy black pyrimidal
structure, roughly fifty feet high. It has no
openings other than the huge bronze double-
doors that face the street. No embellish-
ments mar the outside of the building. The
first floor is called the Shrine and Garden of War.
It contains several rooms in which sculpture, picture,
painting, holo, and mosaic depict the history of war.
The Temple has nothing to do with religion, rather
the temple is a brother/sisterhood of professional
mercenaries. The temple acts as an agent and support
organization for its members. Membership requirements
are a mystery, but members tend to be very talented in
their fields.
As well as acting as a professional organization, the
temple also offers a wide variety of services to its
members. These include use of its facilities, as well
as several other more secret assets.
Members tend to be secretive about the temple and its
functions. They are by no means xenophobic or unsociable,
rather they tend to reveal little about the temple or
its members.
No one who is not a member knows what is on the other
floors of the temple. Security around the building is
tight. The temple has the kind of security most megacorps
only dream of. No shadowrun has as yet been succesful in
penetrating the building.
