The Ashad Xai Turakke (Lit: Great Prophet's Turakke) is the holiest spot in Gharrakmanism and Sulaxism.It has had influence over the culture of Ghollomo city. It is in the United Federal Kingdom of Zanski.

Pre-Amorite

About 1000 years before Gal Amor lived, it served as the spot where Saiman, the Sulax name for their god, accidentally fell to earth from the kingdom of Hardenia (Heaven) and where the only Sulaxist prophet, Magadol Sulax, first prayed.

The Sulax Turakka states that Magadol, a warrior, was walking along the Gharraklandic hills in his home town Karetta (Ghollomo) when he saw a glowing footprint in the mud, about 3 meters (Seven Kallehut) long. He touched it, only to find that it was glowing from embers. A ring of fire enveloped round him and THE SHAPE (a Jemir (Angel) or even Saimun himself, it is not clear) came into view and told him that he had touched the essence of the King of Hardenia and he must pay with all his limbs.

Magadol argued with THE SHAPE until it bargained for a finger. This was done "Without pain or suffering" and he was grateful. THE SHAPE told him that he would be the first Maxua (Sulax, and later Gharrakmanist, ablolute king) of the Second (To Hardenia) Kingdom if he built a shrine around it to keep the rain from touching it. He spread his story by word of mouth, and eventually turned the Animist Gharrakland into a Sulax state. He wrote Magadol's Turakka in the shrine.

The Sulaxists

The sulaxists and Maxuas all prayed at the spot and for two years (1145-1147 BCE) it was the capital of Gharrakland. Karetta grew until the Turakke was the center of the town. All Maxuas were given their title in the Turrake, and a law was passed that only Maxuas were allowed to touch the ember of the footstep at the royal entry celebration.

Amorite period and the Gharrakmanists

Gal Amor was King of Gharrakland andthe founder of Gharrakmanism, now the de facto state religion of Zanski. He used the temple to pray in and had an appearance from Sayuman (From the Sulax Saiman) in the Turakke, telling him to write the Gharrakmanist Turakka based on his word and the Sulax way. He was given the nickname Ghol Amo (Holy Mountain) because he was like a guardian to the Gharrak people and a prophet, and it sounded like his name. He named the city this (Ghollomo). He also decorated it like it is today. One part of the Haderret, Non prophetic Turakka, says that when he died, the embers in the footstep went out.
