Temple of Nod (Tiberian Dawn)

The Temple of Nod is the heart of the Brotherhood - it acts as their communications hub and Command Center, housing the computer core. It is also Kane's residence, where he commands the Brotherhood with an iron hand, surrounded by elite zealots and templars devoted to his cause.

The Temple serves another purpose too - it is the Brotherhood's advanced research lab, allowing construction of advanced units. Additionally, during the First and Third Tiberium Wars, it housed Nod's Nuclear Missile silo, allowing Brotherhood's commanders precision attack capabilities paralleled only by GDI's Ion Cannon Satellite.

Background
During the First Tiberium War, the Temple of Nod was a massive, cathedral-like building, resembling a scorpion. Its architecture was neo-gothic, mixing heavily decorated metal frames with red and black stained glass windows. Several flying buttress extended from it sidewards, resembling scorpion's "legs" and a tail-like protrusion extended from the segment of the temple containing the nuclear missile silo.

The Temple of Nod in Sarajevo was the headquarters for all Nod forces, as well as the temple where Kane stayed. It was invaded by GDI forces towards the end of the First Tiberium War. Eventually, a team led by General Solomon battled Kane's elite Black Hand troops for 72 hours before it was decided that the team would pull out and an Ion Cannon would annihilate the base.

The Sarajevo Temple had an elevator that provided direct access from the underground command center to the main hall. There were such elevators in the Cairo Temple, but these were severely damaged in the Ion Cannon Strike that hit the Temple thanks to Captain Nick Parker (Havoc).
