Temple and Archbasilica of the Ever-Breathtaking One
Supreme Ecclesiarchic, Hierarchical and Angvarian Temple and Archbasilica Cathedral of the Retorted Saviour and of the Most All-Holy Apotheosis of the Ever-Breathtaking One in Mordegard, the Mother of Mothers and Sovereign Head of All the Churches in the City and in the Length and Breadth of the World
The façade of a massive, gaudy yet bleak cathedral, built in the Gothic architectural style yet seemingly abandoned for unknown reasons, under a dark and cloudy night sky.
