The Temple of Five Lords.
I knew I had heard this title before somewhere, In Battlestar Galactica's case it does not refer to this. However,
- "In China where Haikou and Qiongshan border on each other there is a grouping of ancient buildings. The group is comprised of temples, gardens and the houses of five famous ministers of the Tang and Song dynasties. Construction of these ancient buildings began during the reign of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. The group takes its name from its main building, which is also called the Memorial Temple of Five Lords. Nine meters in height, the temple is a two-story wooden building covering a floor-space of 560 square meters. During the Tang and Song dynasties, five outstanding ministers were demoted and exiled to Hainan-the bleak end of the earth at that time. And it was to them that the temple was dedicated. With a golden-glazed board reading “Number One Building of Hainan” hung at the front, the temple has become the most popular site among Hainan’s cultural relics."

- This really isn't an article since there's nothing really to say. However, we can keep it as a placeholder since we know of Number Three and her strange vision quest with five luminous beings, and of the Final Five. Probably related. --Spencerian 07:51, 1 December 2006 (CST)
