Mount Sibasa is the highest point in Port Nyanzaru, located east of the harbor. The hill is crowned by the Hall of Gold, a magnificent temple to Waukeen that serves as one of the city’s most prominent landmarks. The temple features a shining golden roof (actually paint, not actual gold) that can be seen for miles out at sea when the sun strikes it.
A wide stone bridge connects Mount Sibasa to the neighboring Yklwazi Hill, where the Grand Coliseum stands. The hill is one of four steep hills that define Port Nyanzaru’s geography, along with Temple Hill, Throne Hill, and Yklwazi Hill. Like the other major hills, Mount Sibasa is surrounded by steep, stepped streets and terraces.
The Hall of Gold serves as both a temple and one of the city’s richest banks, overseen by Sibonseni, Mother of Prosperity (the chief priest of Waukeen). The temple is renowned for its charitable work and support of civic improvements, making it one of the most influential institutions in Port Nyanzaru after the merchant princes.
