Temple (Installation 05)

Were you looking for the structure from Halo Wars or the Temple of the Abiding Truth? The Temple was a Forerunner structure located in the center of a large artificial lake on Installation 05. The structure was occupied by the Prophet of Regret during his brief stay on the installation. The only way to the temple without a dropship or aircraft was by taking a route through a series of underwater tunnels, over bridges and by traveling on anti-gravity gondolas across a system of towers and other structures across the lake that surrounded the structure. The purpose of the temple structure was never discovered before it was destroyed by a Covenant assault carrier shortly after the Master Chief assassinated the Prophet of Regret.

Architecture
The temple is a symmetrical structure, with two gondola docking places. It rises out of the water on six legs, and looks similar to Epitaph. There is one main entrance to the interior of the temple, and a hallway that leads to two more openings. Through those openings is another large room. In this room are two small doors in the far left and right sides of the walls. They, along with a large ramp leading to a door are the entrances to the main hall.

In this large room, there are four doors in the walls which lead to small rooms. There are walkways, and three levels. On the ground level there are various blocks, and a pond. At the far end there is a raised platform, where the Prophet of Regret conducted his sermons. Waiting in the small side rooms are legions of Sangheili Honor Guardsmen and Unggoy, ready to come to the Prophet's aid. Regret was slain in this room by John-117 in 2552, and the temple was destroyed shortly after.
