Propelled by four massive legs this towering ziggurat lurches across the landscape smashing any obstacle, natural or man-made, in its path. Cast from bone-white stone the hatches of a long-dead language scar the railings of mammoth steps. The heads of crushed icons from across the world and throughout history adorn its corner terraces, inner spaced with black-iron statues of a grim-faced clergy. Borne on eddies of crackling, blue magic a stone visage floats above the ziggurat's zenith. Forever cast with an expression of condemnation this is the face of the sorcerer-king Enuk'lun. Arcane might pulses in its eyes, eager to eradicate the heresy of divinity.
God Smasher. The Living Temple of Enuk'lun serves two purposes. First, the ancient structure keeps the memory of the sorcerer-king alive untold generations after his demise. Second, to erase all faiths which do not venerate Enuk'lun above all others. In dim eons past, the sorcerer king's empire ranged wide and far. Yet, Enuk'lun was a mortal man and it is said the primordial gods themselves stymied his ambitions. Outraged by the divine interference Enuk'lin decreed that the gods were weak pretenders, afraid to face a man of his glory and power, and outlawed all religion within his borders under penalty of death. He preached that humanity alone had the true power to shape the world, and he set out to prove it. The juggernaut he constructed, his Living Temple, sought out holy sites within his domains, no matter how small, and reduced them to rubble. The artifact supplicants and acolytes of the temple gathered the heads of gods' statues and mounted them on the ziggurat. After the sorcerer-king's death, his empire collapsed by the Living Temple continued its work. It is said that Enuk'lun's corpse lays at the heart of the Living Temple, his bottomless pride providing its power source.

Cast to match the face of the sorcerer-king these golden masks were passed out to Enuk'lun's mortal priests. So great was Enul'lun's vanity that his clergy erased their very identities to pay him homage. First and foremost, a Mask of Enuk'lun protects a wearer from some of the Living Temple's effects, this includes the Tolling of Enuk'lun and the Judgement of Enuk'lun. In addition, the Acolyte and Supplicants of the Living Temple will not attack a bearer of the mask until the bearer takes hostile action toward them. Once attuned to the mask the wearer gains advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saves. Masks of Enuk'lun are quite rare, only a handful lasting through the centuries. Most often they are found by misanthropes drawn to Enuk'lun's extreme humanist stance, or hereditary lines descended from the sorcerer-king or his priests.
