The Cathedral of the Sunken Faith

Exterior:
Walking up the stairs to the Cathedral you reach a veranda that extends along all sides. The doors to the interior stand before you, enormous, oaken, and swollen, one on either side of the stairs. Upon them is engraved a number of images depicting the Priestess performing miraculous deeds and leading her followers to some unknown destination. Muffled singing can be heard from the interior of the Cathedral.

 Heraldry:  These images depict the time of the first founding of the Haven. When the Priestess took those who felt called by her grace into the wilderness to seek a new home and build a place of worship. The miracles being performed are depictions of her creating food to feed those brought to this new world as well as healing the sick and wounded. ===== All along the perimeter of the Cathedral, always at its base, are small rectangular holes. As if while building it they left stones out every so often. Out of these holes pours the same brackish water that fills the swamp.

Main Floor:
The interior of the cathedral is grand, with large pillars along its center and smaller ones along each side, separating the aisles from the congregation. These pillars all have human busts engraved in them, from base to crown. Water pours from the eyes of these reliefs.

The main nave of the church is filled with bloated bodies sitting in a prayer posture with arms outstretched to the Priestess and their faces underwater. They do not move or make notice of your arrival. Their are two transepts along either side of the Cathedral, these have a similar structure as the main nave, but contain fewer bodies. Above you, on either side, rests a balcony. The stairs to these are halfway between the entrance and the transepts along each aisle. At the far end of the Cathedral lies the choir. An immensly bright light is emmanating from here with a vaguely humanoid shape outlined within.

The once muffled singing now rings loud in your ears, growing in intensity. you can't make out the words, but the tone seems to lull you into a sense of well being.
