I like this one: it gives me a chance to do a bit of a funhouse level while also maintaining a theme.<h2>Level 9: The Temple of All gods</h2>A vast, decrepit maze of impossible geometry.Was: A monument to the vanity and greed of the Emperors.Intruder: the High Magus, turned traitor along with his followers.Synthesis & Fallout: Warring congregations looking for followers. The Magus attempts to birth the New God.1: Pantheon<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lined with marble statues. The gods have all turned their backs. Natural light from high windows.</li> </ul>2: Imperial Shrine: Great Hall<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gloom and smoke. A high-vaulted hall with rows of bone-packed gibbets, glowing braziers,  and smouldering incensors hanging from the ceiling. Floor is littered with human bones, ash, and broken swords.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(?) The massive doors leading to the ziggurat stair are made of solid gold and shaped like snarling lions. They open easily, but are far too heavy to be stolen unless broken apart somehow.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(?) Gibbets, braziers and incensors hang from heavy chains of uneven length; from 10’ up to 30’ (near the ceiling). It might be possible to move upward from one to another if you find a low one.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(?) There is a mezzanine floor overlooking this hall, hidden by shadow and pillars.</li> </ul>3: Imperial Shrine: Ziggurat Stair<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The stair is made of human skulls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(!) At its summit: the Avatar of Empire.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(?) The door at the summit leads to level 11: Imperial Palace.</li> </ul>4: Imperial Shrine: Mezzanine Arcade<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">30’ up. Clear view of the great hall from between the pillars.</li> </ul>5: Imperial Shrine: Deacons’ Quarters<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(!) Lair of the Imperial Deacons. Skin and bone and empty eye sockets, chained to an unlife of eternal service.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mien: whispered chorus, sinister chanting</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Want: more victims for the Avatar, especially apostates</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Need: to keep the fires lit</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fear: the renegade magician</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A gloomy barracks.</li> </ul>6: Imperial Shrine: Storeroom<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gloomy cellar with seemingly limitless bags of charcoal and incense.</li> </ul>7: Non-Euclidean Corridor<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(!??) This corridor winds back on itself in ways that shouldn't be possible.</li> </ul></blockquote>
