Silent Temple
"Many think the depravation of sound is tantamount to peace and serenity. I can tell you nothing is further from the truth. Soundlessness is violent and invasive. It strips you of what you believe and breaks you of what you think you know. Silence is not quiet." - from the memoirs of Lewin Von Treet, Vault: the Land of Stuff and Things
There are few places on Vault where the gods of creation still walk in power, but the Silent Temple is one of those places. It is here Nameless, the God of Empathy dwells, wandering the halls of the temple as if any other disciple.
One might believe such a spectacle would draw people the world over, but the location of the Silent Temple makes it difficult to approach and the lifestyle enforced there makes it impossible for most to endure.
The temple earns its name as Nameless has chosen these hallowed grounds as a place where no sound exists. Scholars have guessed that a Silence spell sits atop the entirety of the temple but those who have experienced it know this is no mere spell. It's a compulsion. It's a law of nature. It's intent and result, wrapped up in a way of being. Those who serve in the temple are not silent because it is commanded; silence simply is.
But Nameless is not the god of silence, it is only what he deems necessary for complete and utter understanding to occur. People travel to the Silent Temple to better come to know themselves and others. "Empathy is the product of opening one's ears and shutting one's mouth," so the disciples say. It is said Nameless himself will often preside over the arrival of understanding between two divided individuals. The purpose of the Silent Temple is not to resolve conflict, but rather to create connections. The disciples there will often say, "Conflict does not end with who is right and who is wrong. Conflict only ends with understanding, or it does not end at all."
Nameless has traditionally refused to converse about the Constellation War and his part, or lack thereof, in it. Those who have gone to him looking for him to use his power to right wrongs or deal out justice have left sorely disappointed.
