The Cult of Love is often considered to be a snow-covered wasteland by those outside it, but if one were to venture past the border, they would find that despite the snow and ice, the cult isn't cold at all. In fact, the temperature usually sits between 5 and 15 degrees, similar to a fresh morning breeze.
Near the border of the cult, where the snow is perpetually thawing, lie rows and rows of flowers. These flowers are self-seeded and seem to never die off, as no one has ever seen anyone tend to them.
Near the edge of the forest grow the tulips, chrysanthemums, lilies, asters and roses, small and delicate, shades of red, burgundy and crimson to represent passion and love. As you carefully trek the laid-out paths, they begin to shift in colour, the flowers changing as well, fading into pinks and purples - a mix of pink dahlias, azalea, anemone and carnations, then purple calla lillies, hyacinths, heliotropes, forget-me-nots and hydrangeas - then yellows - sunflowers, daffodils, chrysanthemums, carnations, and tulips. As one reaches the edge of the field, right as the snow begins to form, the last line of flowers are a deep black - roses with stems full of thorns. If one is not paying much attention to the path, they may feel the thorns scrape at their skin.
In the centre of the cult lies the common areas, with each area being situated inside a large, glacial cave. The largest of the caves hosts the cult’s temple. A frozen pathway leads to the steps of the temple, with each side falling away into a frigid lake that fully surrounds the temple. Along the roof is a large collection of bioluminescent and toxic fungi - including death caps,
The sun isn't commonly seen past the clouds during the day, but on odd occasions, the clouds part, allowing a few rays of sunlight to flow through, reflecting off the snow and ice in a myriad of colours. However, as the sun sets, the sun's rays refract off the snow banks into the main cave, painting the temple in every colour of light possible.
Love's Temple:
Serene marble tiles adorn the temple’s floor, creating elegant twisting patterns in the stone underfoot. The walls of the temple are lined with stone flowerbeds, where clutches of red and pink flowers grow, and thorny vines stretch up the rosewood walls, some reaching high enough to curl around the rafters, drooping down to carry lanterns. Bioluminescent fungi coat the roof, emitting a mutated shade of pink light, adding to the passionate atmosphere.
Stone pillars outline the temple's altar, standing beside delicately crafted ice sculptures to create a sense of importance. The altar itself is engraved in stone and silver, garnished with vines and roses. Shevles of colourful bottles line the walls on either side of the altar, behind which stands a large window of ice depicting the very flowers that encircle the cult.
The very air inside the temple tastes floral, a sickly-sweet mixture of the emotions one could associate with Love: passion, attraction, affection, endearment, temptation, and desire. But under that lies a subtle twist of obsession and hatred, one that seems to seep into the soul of those who have cast love aside.
