[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 8592938, member: 6855223"] [gm][B]The Cathedral[/B]: This is a magnificent structure of masonic excellence. It was constructed from hewn stone that had to be transported from quite a distance for such large pieces. The building is a single, rectangular structure, facing west, inland of the Port, north of the Castle, yet south of the Outlying Farms. It is the first structure that a travelers eyes would be drawn to when arriving by the main road. Its spires stand some 10 strides in height, higher than those of the Castle. The main entrance that faces the setting sun opens to the main worship hall, where messages are given to the faithful, who attend the first day of each Tenday. The faithful includes every member of town who is adolescent or older. Little exception is given to absences; which if too frequent, could garner a visit from a Seeker of Truth of the Daughters of Dawn. The Divine Praetor resides within the Cathedral but the Ministers of Light only meet there. They reside in their own houses, but their individual identities are not known to those outside of the Ministry, for they wear hoods and masks when dealing with others, even other members of the religion, including during all Ministry proceedings. Older members do know the younger ones who have been chosen within their lifetime, but the younger do not know the older. This protocol is allegedly justified by the precepts of the religion but appears to be completely nefarious in application to anyone else. When in town, the members of the Hand of Justice and the Seekers for Truth are both housed in the Cathedral. The Hand is housed in a level below ground. The Seekers are housed on the second floor above. There are meeting rooms for both organizations, adjacent training grounds, and a second sub-level for holding cells. Those remanded to Reflection are held under the Cathedral by its own authority not that of the King. The Cathedral employs a Body of Clergy that maintain the cleanliness of the structure and of the grounds as well as to perform various duties associated with the religion. These employees all reside within the structure and are forbidden to marry or have children. Those who have family members in town are allowed to visit them, once each Tenday. Clergy members are respected within the town for their dedication to the Lord of the Day. Some dedicated volunteer for such appointment but others are actively recruited by members of the Hand.
