| rdfs:comment | - The Cynosure of Heng was a circular, domed room that was very clean and brightly lit by no obvious source. It once served as the throne room of the Protectress Shalmanat, and its only furnishing was her simple folding camp stool with wooden armrests at the centre of the room. Once sanctified to the Protectress, the temple had been re-sanctified to the "full pantheon of Quon Talian Gods, Heroes and Guardian Spirits" by its Malazan conquerors. Beneath the floor lay an escape tunnel to the city sewers that Shalmanat had refused to use even when the city's fall had been certain.

| abstract | - The Cynosure of Heng was a circular, domed room that was very clean and brightly lit by no obvious source. It once served as the throne room of the Protectress Shalmanat, and its only furnishing was her simple folding camp stool with wooden armrests at the centre of the room.

Beneath the floor lay an escape tunnel to the city sewers that Shalmanat had refused to use even when the city's fall had been certain. The temple was impervious to attempts to enter or exit by Warren. The temple's only exit was a set of double doors leading to a long hallway lined with small arched portals. At the hallway's end was another set of much larger double doors leading into the larger City Temple complex. A stout pair of oak outer doors led down white marble stairs from the City Temple's outer wall to a broad flagstoned marshalling grounds and barracks for the Li Heng garrison.
