The Temple of Ryvenna, located in the former lands of Old Hallucination (current-day near the southern Dalmacijan border) in Greater Kildare was originally intended as a temple dedicated to Ryvenna, the Virgin Demigoddess of Kink (from the 17th century and onward also seen as protector of courtesans and bringer of pleasures of the flesh). The precise date of the construction of the temple complexes is unknown but reports and witnesses describe it as unfinished at the turn of the 15th century, when the buildings - which had never been officially inaugurated - were adopted by the Boomists, becoming a place of worship for their followers.

The Boomists were a religious group that believed in the power of the Boomist Stone, a fabled artifact. According to legend, the stone was given to Dutchess Hypatia Agnesi by Baron Ozarka Monto of Hallucination. In her wisdom, the Dutchess decided to keep the stone as far away from the more populated Audente and Antyan urban centers. This solidified the connection between the Boomists and the temple. For many years, the Boomist priests and worshippers used the temple as their main place of worship, until they were eventually replaced by the Sisters of Ryvenna in 1574 AN who took advantage of increasing popularity of Cedrism.

Despite political turmoil and revolution during the 17th century, the Sisters of Ryvenna continued to operate the temple uninterrupted. They maintained the existing structure and even preserved some rooms specifically for Boomist followers. Additionally, a small tourist shop was established near one of the entrances of a closed temple room, rumored to house the infamous Boomist Stone.

Over time, the temple became a popular destination for pilgrims and travelers alike, drawn by its unique blend of historical significance and religious importance. Today, visitors can still explore the temple's various chambers, including the sacred spaces reserved for the Boomists, and marvel at the mysterious energy and feeling of pending doom and destruction emanating from the alleged resting place of the Boomist Stone. Whether seeking spiritual enlightenment or simply interested in exploring the past, the Temple of Ryvenna remains a fascinating and must-see attraction for all those who venture into these ancient lands.

The temple is counted among one of the Seven Wonders of Kildare.
