The '''Memorial of Jovian Gate''' (formally known as the '''Temple of the Remembrance of the Battle of Pax and Borg''' and informally as the '''Jovian Gate''') is a temple built over a hill in the city of Akas Akil, [[Packilvania]] that commemorates the defeat of the Borg by Pax and the subsequent imprisonment of the former behind the mystical Jovian Gate which is believed by [[Paxism|Paxists]] to be located deep under the hill.
 
The construction of the first iteration of the Memorial was begun by Lord Tiraz Mawal a wealthy follower of Prophet Besmali in 2000 BCE. The structure was destroyed in 14501350 BCE during the Battle of the Holy Hill between the Kingdom of Wala and the Kingdom of Tsuhe under Kings Eqad and Putuldin respectively. It was rebuilt by King Hosna IV of AkilWala in 1475 on his victory over the Kingdom of Tsuhe which had gained control of the area from the Kingdom of Wala.
 
The second iteration was destroyed by an earthquake in 1230 BCE. The site was rebuilt by King Gurwan II of AkilWala. The site was moved 30 metres to the east due to the calculations of astronomer Jawalal Haldin.
 
The Kingdom of Akil was defeated by and absorbed into the Kingdom of Yehudah in 523 BCE. After learning of the significance of the site and the events that took place there, King Joral II of Yehudah ordered that a new temple be rebuilt over the site. He also ordered his entire court to convert to Paxism. Under his grandson King Suleiman of Yehudah, the Ikhtmar of Prophet Besmali was expanded.
 
In 0 CE, the site was destroyed by a meteor strike, leaving a massive crater in the area. Earthquakes and clouds of dust filled the sky. This event reverberated so much throughout the ancient world that people were convinced that the world was going to end. A massive period of fasting and prayer of all the citizens of AkilYehudah and surrounding nations was summoned by King Medayin II of Yehudah to call upon Pax to defeat the Borg. After several months the cloud and ash subsided and the people believed that they had defeated the Borg through their prayers and that the end of the world had been averted. This period is commemorated with a week-long fast known to Paxists as the Start of the New Age. It is the new year of the Paxist Liturgical Calendar (which coincides exactly with the International Standard Calendar used today).
 
TheIt was rebuilt by King Kijal V of Yehudah under whose reign the Vagumar was expanded to include writings commemorating the Start of the New Age, the meteor strike on the Memorial and the conversion of Yehudah. Although this text was sealed and recognised at the capital of Yehudah by the Council of Adrien, a copy of the revised text now known as the Vagumar was kept in a vault at the site of the Memorial of the Jovian Gate.
 
The site diminished somewhat in significance under the Yehudan Kings as Adrien was elevated in religious significance nevertheless it remained one of three of the holiest sites in Paxism. Furthermore, many continued to turn to it in prayer despite ordered by King Suleiman in the Vagumar to turn to the Temple of the Restoration in Adrien. The site regained prominence when Yehudah was defeated and absorbed by the Iktanite dynasty. Yehudah remained a vassal of the Iktanite but Akil now known as Akas Akil after being renamed by King Iktan the Devout himself became the holiest site in Paxism, a status it enjoys until the present.
