Description
The Temple of Kushiel is a rather oppressive place. The high, vaulted
ceilings rise above in majestic arches, gray stone reaching up into a shroud
of darkness. Numerous candles struggle to dispel the shadows, flickering on
tiered candelabra, though their light never seems quite bright enough to drive
the veil of darkness back entirely. The hall itself is fairly quiet with only
the sound of soft footsteps, the rustling of robes, and the occasional hushed
murmurs as acolytes guide petitioners to speak with a priest. The floors are
shining, black marble, stretching forth to reflect back the flickering light
of the candles, and only a few narrow windows of blue, red and violet stained
glass offer any hint of light from the outdoors at intervals along the stark
gray walls.
Dominating the far end of the Temple is an enormous bronze statue of
Kushiel himself, seated on a throne of bone-white marble. In one hand, he
holds a rod and in the other, a flail, which he holds crossed over his chest
beneath a stern yet beautiful bronze face. Three large bronze keys are inlaid
into the base of the throne, symbolizing the Keys to the Portals of Hell,
arranged in a triangle. Along the western wall, several alcoves shrouded in
curtains of black velvet provide places where petitioners may speak with a
priest in private. To either side of the throne, arched corridors lead deeper
into the Temple.
