The center of Intli'Zatlu civilization; it is an enormous stepped pyramid, hundreds of feet tall. At its apex is a temple dedicated to Intli- it is the dwelling place of the Ladies of the Skull; at its exact center, beneath a circular skylight, there stands a stone brazier glowing with blue fire and set with the Crystal of Bones. Above the Brazier, suspended in the fire, floats the Crystal Skull of Intli.

Far below, in a chamber beneath the Pyramid, there sits the Great Calendar Stone, an enormous, circular Idol of Intli which contains the entire Astronomical Knowledge of the Empire of Intli. It is said that the Calendar Stone is situated directly below the Brazier, and fires a beam of blue fire up to it, and thence out a hole in the ceiling into the sky. Thousands of Idols adorn the outside of the Pyramid, staring through golden eyes into the night sky, watching and recording every move of the heavens.

Blue fire pours from the top of the temple, and from the mouths of enormous idols situated at its four corners- great jaguars with the beaks of turtles, each pouring out energy onto disk-shaped idols covered in glowing symbols; it is believed that these somehow fuel the Stone Totems throughout the empire; certainly, each disk is situated on one of the great Geoglyphs which were used to channel power in the early days of the Empire.

Every edge of the temple seems to be lined with blue light, and a strange static seems to hang in the air. This, though, seems to be only a reflection of the spiritual power of the place, and of the Empire of Intli in general.
