A grand, 250-year-old cathedral featuring an abundance of white and gold arches and soaring spires. It stands as a beacon of faith and power in Grande Pont, but now finds itself a primary target in the war, with Yvon the Forsaken's undead army marching towards its gates. Its main foyer, the Hall of Absolution, branches out into ten chambers dedicated to the nine gods of the pantheon, with the tenth serving as living quarters.
