The Cloud of Hate

The Temple of Hates is a subterranean hall, below the streets of Lankhmar, where worshipers of the Hates meet to summon the Cloud of Hate. It can hold at least five-thousand worshipers.

The single-halled subterranean temple was so long and wide and at the same time so irregularly planted with thick pillars that at no point could a person see more than a third of the way across it. Yet it had a ceiling so low that at any point a man standing tall could have brushed it with his fingertips–except that here all groveled. the air was swooningly fetid. the dark bent backs of the hate-ensorceled worshipers made a kind of hummocky dark ground, from which the nitre-crusted stone pillars rose like gray tree trunks.
