Located in the center of the Labrynth, the Temple of Kali serves at the center of Seth's religious worship and Thaumaturgical workings.   In the center of the floor, a large, inticate 13-pointed star is etched into the stone floor.  At the far end of the chamber, opposite the entrance, is a shrine to the Dark Mother.
