Temple of the Midnight Cats

The Temple of the Midnight Cats earns its name from the many stray cats in the area. The local villagers leave their doors open to allow the cats to enter and leave freely, and the temple considers it to be a good omen when a black cat sits on their doorstep.

Due to the preponderance of ancestor shrines in the area, the temple has dedicated itself to a study of the afterlife. The monks collect legends of good fortune attributed to an ancestor or the direct intervention of a spirit. Many people come to the shrine to ask guidance of their dead ancestors. While there is very rarely an answer, it happens much more commonly than anywhere else in the Empire. The library of these tales and occurrences is open to any who wish to peruse the scrolls- many wonder if the Scorpion courtiers who are often seen here are using this information to gain an edge in the courts.
