The Crescent Cathedral

Architecture

The cathedral is built into the shape of a crescent moon, with its thickest portion at the center is ends tapering into points curving almost round to almost meet each other. Its exterior walls are built out of a grey-blue marble, which reflects the moonlight on a clear night, while its pointed roof is covered in slate tiles.
The main entrance to the cathedral sits at its thickest point, at the center, where a set of matching marble steps lead to a pair of grand double doors. Smaller, secondary entrances exist further round its exterior, one of each side of the crescent-shaped building.
Its interior is split into four sections, the church, the east wing, the west wing and the argent grove. Below each are the details for each.
The Church. The main entrances leads directly into the church where the traditional worship space is illuminated by a large, circular stained-glass window on the far wall, depicting the aspect of The Moonweaver. The marble and dark wood of the building's exterior match the interior chamber, while additional furnishings are constructed out of silver. Three other sets of doors lead from the church, one to each of the adjacent wings and a set at he back to the argent grove.
The East and West Wing. These spaces are reserved as private living quarters and communal areas for the acolytes, deacons and priests which work at the cathedral as well as the archbishop. The interior of these spaces is much more simplistic than the worship space, with more plain stone walls and wooden floorboards, though all very well maintained (similar to a high quality inn). There is also a large workshop where wood from The Argent Grove can be carved and treated.
The Argent Grove. Exiting from the rear of the church down a set of steps matching those of the front entrance is a small forested area. It is bordered by the walls of the east and west wing with only the gap at the far side of the crescent-shaped building by the edge of Lake Marimer acting as another point of entry. Here, argent oak trees are cultivated by the acolytes of the church for the purpose of using their wood to benefit the church. The space is also home to a beautiful a ceremonial space overlooking the water, which is used for weddings.
