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.

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 Akil and surrounding nations was summoned by King Medayin II 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).

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.
