The Temple of Amorak was a religious site on the planet Vulcan. During ancient times, the shrine served as a fortress in the violent era in Vulcan history and dug directly into a cliff face where it expanded over centuries by means of honeycombed corridors as well as inner chambers. Some of the ancient carvings held friezes of sieges and battles with faces contorted in agony along with piles of corpses. These had been left in place as a reminder to never return to those violent times. The walls were meters to kilometers thick on the mountain side thus making them soundproof, heavy and warm due to ancient lava flow deep underground though it was cooler in other parts.
