Not necessarily within the city, unless - like Good Shore - it was founded around a TotRM.

Neither - it was sort of an aggressive defense network.

Good Shore was only the second Temple of Yara Aranis. The first one was in Glamour. However, the power may well run along the temples in founding sequence.

>From the description of Glowline failures, it must be either a branching
system, or have some sort of sequential order, to have Glowline failures
anywhere except in the damaged temple's radius and outlying temples like
the Tarshite one. I don't believe that one temple down means all the
Glowline gets off the net, unless you manage to strike at the heart of
the system. (And that might be (on) the Red Moon...)
