Temple of Golden Virtue

The Temple of Golden Virtue, more commonly simply called the Golden Temple, lay at the heart of Los Angeles' Chinatown for years, mostly abandoned. In the early 2000s, Ming Xiao arrived in the city and restored it as part of her effort to claim the territory as her own, but she would rarely if ever allow anyone into it, claiming the place was too holy.

During the events surrounding the Ankaran Sarcophagus in October 2004, she encountered a fledgling in the service of Prince LaCroix. This fledgling later returned to the Temple, descending to Ming Xiao's own private chambers, and destroyed her.

Shortly thereafter, the Temple itself was destroyed, which was widely reported as a domestic terror attack.
