Templum

Templum is a realm in the Inner Realms and the divine realm of Templum, the Eternal Watcher, who is also it's namesake.  

Appearance

Templum appears as a perfect sphere the surface of which is starkly divided, with half of it brightly illuminated and half pitch black. The light appears to travel over the surface at a fixed rate, resulting in the appearance of a revolving light.

Appearance from the Mortal Realms

From an outside observer, there appears to be two copies of Templum; one floating above the Mortal Realms and one floating below. Despite being a single realm, Templum exists in two places at once in space, giving the illusion that there are two of them. The rotation of the realm remains the same between it's two places; this means that when the lower half of the realm self illuminates, only the above realms see the light, while the below realms see the dark side. This has the effect of Templum's illumination phases being inverse between the realms above and realms below.   From either side of the mortal realms, Templum appears to float high above the very center of the realm. Over time, it will float closer or farther away, thus appearing smaller or larger. Sometimes Templum will sink within and below the orbit of the Realm of Fire and result in an eclipse.
