Magna's Cathedral

Purpose / Function

This Cathedral was built for Magna, the creature that guards the West and East Vale Mountains. It was built by the initial invaders who eventually established The Ander Vale. It also serves as a sign of dominion over the previous religion.

Architecture

The temple is carved from stone, and is set upon about a thousand stone statues that hold it up. These statues are the First Ones and their devout followers.

History

Ehnciv, the civilzation before The Ander Vale, worshipped their pseudo-gods when the invadors (The Anders) came through. In order to cross into the Vale, they encountered the awakned Tarrasque which spoke one word to them "Magna" and after the Tarrasque and the Wastelander Tieflings saw fit that The Anders weren't terrible people, they allowed them to cross. However, the Anders were so thankful for clean fresh land, that they enforced a new religion on the Ehnciv people, starting a civil conflict that ended with The Ander Vale being established.
They excecuted each of the First Ones and their die hard followers by turning them to stone, and used these stone statues as a foundation for a grand cathedral for Magna. However, going into the cathedral at night is strictly forbidden, as many claim the spirits of the First Ones come to life and move about the Cathedral, crying in despair, or promising revenge.
