The Holy Synod is located at the top of mountain in Northal. The Synod is an enormity of pillars, steps, buttresses, bridges, domes, and towers flowing into one another as if they had all been chiseled from one colossal rock. It looms high like Dragons High's Mountain. A hundred hues of red, yellow, gold, and orange meet and meld in the Synod walls, dissolving one into the other like clouds at sunset.

 

The Synod itself is an impressive marble domed structure, It has twelve marble towers, each of which has bells. Only on momentous occasions, such as the death of a king, are all of them rung. There are several sets of small doors leading into the Synod. But one large one that leads into the Synod-proper called Owyn's gate.

 

Past the doors is the entrance hall of the Synod, which is known as the Hall of Saints. Those entering the hall walk beneath suspended globes of colored leaded glass and to there left and right are marble statues of saints. Through the double-doors is the Synod-proper, with twelve broad aisles which meet beneath the dome of glass, gold, and crystal Its floors made out of marble and great windows of leaded, colored glass, and the many altars are set about with candles. 

 

Below are tombs where great men are laid to rest, cells for penitents, other halls and rooms, and vaults that hold costly vestments, rings, crystal crowns, and other treasures of the Faith.

The main sanctum chamber can comfortably seat twelve hundred people. There are other spaces within the complex that can seat larger numbers. All Clergymen have quarters in the Synod, The College Of Bishops meet here, in a large room under the third tower called the Holy College, courts are held here, the Synod is a large structure that has many uses.

 

((Basically this is where all Church role-play forum wise is going to be held we well clump it all in one topic, of-course edicts well have there own topic- When there is a important matter that is to be discussed or a meeting held a post on the thread well be made with a title stating such and no more side-rp can occur until that rp is done with.))

 

((If anyone wants or wish's something of the church send a letter in this thread))

 

((Who has access to the thread, All Clergymen, All Holy Ordermen - Some parts of the Synod the ordermen cannot enter(But those are place you would not know about so do not worry about it you basically can be anywhere), All Faithful can come but only have access to the Synod proper))

[Archbishop John 85]

Solemnly he prays under the candle light in the Synod Proper, his hushed chants can be heard only slightly "Guide me" he said. The Archbishop holds a double cross between his hands, he leans down kissing the base of the alter before he stands slowly with the help of one of his laymen, as he is sat on one of aisles he continues to pray. 

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

Alexander, a young Jrent boy sat upon his knees, head bowed he would pray deep and hard to the Creator, taking great amounts of wealth from the exalted figures of faith often seen in this place.

His voice full of fervor he whispered his quiet prayers over and over, proclaiming his faith in every way he knew how.

Only a boy of 14 he was zealous
