The Vineta Temple, also known as Hvíturtemplet, which means "white temple" in the Froyalanish and Wintergleamish languages, is a Vanic Temple which is situated on the outskirts of the Royal City of Tuulersbýur.
Name
The temple derives its name from a semi-mythical Valtian trading town called Vineta which was situated in the vincinity of the temple's location. Vineta was destroyed when a gargantuan tsunami caused by the cataclysm that destroyed Valtia struck the coast.
The name of Vineta Temple was bestowed upon the temple complex by means of a Gyllmára Búlla which was issued by the Jólaslafðir prior to its initial dedication. Its other name of Hvíturtemplet (white temple) is derived from the white garments the Goddess Elwynn often wears, and it is in her honour that temple complex has been mainly constructed with white building materials.
History
