Althea's eyes glowed with a soft amber hue as she looked over Bram; her high platform heels put her at the same height as him, allowing her gaze to meet with his easily. She walked a small circle around him in a pretty routine check before scrawling something in her book and replacing it on her hip.<br/><br/>"You are free to enter, traveler, as all judged worthy may seek refuge in Soulspire." Althea began, picking up her massive cross like it was made of air. Her slender frame had no problems wielding such a massive weapon, but others who tried to pick it up would find the cross as immovable as a mountain.<br/><br/>"But the Fifth Bishop Seriel entertains no visitors. If you require aid, please go to the Grand Chapel's Outer Sanctum." She finished, now stepping aside. The massive iron door began to slowly split open, releasing a blinding white light. Althea's silhouette was bathed in the glow as the Temple was revealed.<br/><br/>Inside, a long street stretched as far as the eye could see, leading to a massive central building. The Grand Chapel was constructed with impossible architecture; built of an ivory white material, it rose up to a gigantic height that could rival the tallest skyscrapers on Earth. Long spans of the building blossomed outwards, casting great shadows underneath its sprawling wings. From a distance, the building looked like a massive blooming lotus, immaculate and as pure as snow. At the center of the flower, a blue column of energy pierced the sky, occasionally pulsing with power.<br/><br/>The long road to the Chapel was paved with white cobblestone, perfectly laid out and without a single speck of dust, unlike the sandy terrain of the Peaks. On each side of the road were tall tan buildings, their interiors connecting to the other wings of the fortress-like Temple. Temple maidens with brooms could be seen at all times, diligently sweeping every inch of the Temple grounds. The busy main street had died down now, leaving only a handful of people roaming about. A bell sounded in the air, indicating that another hour of prayer was about to begin.<br/><br/>Just inside of the Soulspire Temple, a small pedestal with a map was placed off to the side.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Map</span></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Grand Chapel Outer Sanctum (Manastream, Refuge, Hall of Prayer, Healer).</span></li><li><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">East Wing Buildings (Merchants, Trader’s guild).</span></li><li><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">West Wing Buildings (Seminary).</span></li></ul><br/><br/><br/><br/>
