Red Temples are the places of worship in the religion of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, called "Red" because of the color's association with the god. They are occupied not only by Red Priests but also temple warriors as well as temple prostitutes of both sexes. Red Temples are prominent throughout Essos, where the faith in R'hllor is strong. Of particular note are the Red Temples in Volantis and Myr.
