Lower Nave, Path of Destruction 
  Along the walls of the lower nave, bronze panels are sculpted with
portrayals of the profane accepting the Fog of Illusion into their hearts
and initiates of the Cult cleansing them of this offense.  Stone pillars 
soar up between the darkened stained glass windows recessed into walls to 
the east and west.  A short flight of polished stone steps leads south 
into the upper nave.  To the north lies the temple antechamber.

Upper Nave, Path of Purity 
  Beneath the sculpted bronze tablets that continue from the lower nave
to the north, prayers of the Cult are carved into the polished stone
between the soaring buttresses.  Pews are spread out radially from the
south where three steps lead into the chapel of the grand altar room
and apse.  The stained glass set high into the walls are circular works
of dark glass and translucent stone.  To the north a short flight of
polished steps leads down to the lower nave.

Grand Altar Room 
  Ornate wrought iron candlestick holders ring the elliptical dais at 
the center of the vaulted chamber like emaciated guards, each topped with a 
smoldering black candle.  At the center of the dais sits a glistening 
altar of pure hematite upon white marble skulls.  Purple velvet curtains hang 
to either side of the reliquary, each embroidered with a broad scarab, one 
crimson and one black.  A table to the east is topped with a gilded mirror 
set into a pivotal stand.  Clay vessels set into low niches in the wall send 
drifting streams of incense up into the darkness overhead.  To the east and 
west lie the twin towers and domes of the transept.

Eastern Transept 
  Candlelight from elaborate candelabra illuminates the transept and 
sends looming shadows onto the dome above the sculpted figures emerging 
from the pillars at the edge of the chamber.  A font of unholy water 
sits on a stone pedestal between lacquered urns containing the ashes of 
the Temple's enemies.  To the west lies the splendor of the altar, to 
the north lies a long, narrow hall.

Western Transept 
  A tower of stone and wood and stained glass rises up around you 
towards the painted dome some ten spans above.  A grim sculpture of a 
skeletal figure stands over a gilded rack of squat candles, each lit by
a member of the Cult and snuffed out later should the blessings of the
Father be upon them.  To the east the altar and reliquary sit upon the
dais of the inner sanctum.  To the north a hallway dark with shadow
leads away from the transept.

  Brands that have burned out leave this narrow hall in near-complete

in the alcove onto the dressed stone floor.  To the east lies a door.  To
