Description

The Cathedral of Illumination stands as the most significant place of worship in the Calixis Sector, serving as the base of operations for Arch-Cardinal Ignato. This sprawling complex, adorned with golden statues and breathtaking stained-glass domes, attracts pilgrims from across the sector, marking it as a fortress of faith and a bastion of the Ecclesiarchy's power. Inside, the cavernous nave is filled with soaring choruses of servitors, while the Hall of Relics houses sacred items, including bones of Saint Drusus. The cathedral's influence extends throughout Hive Tarsus, where the Frateris Militia maintains order and the presence of pilgrims shapes the local economy.

Appearance

A grand cathedral with towering spires, a massive stained-glass dome, and golden statues depicting Imperial history. The interior features a vast nave with columns carved in the likeness of past cardinals, an altar adorned with a triple portrait of the Emperor, and a choir of servitors filling the air with hymns.
