8. Crimson Nave

Long, vaulted nave, 60’ high, with sootstained red marble floor. Rows of pews, adorned with flame motifs. Ragged crimson banners hang from chains high above. Firelight and the acrid smell of smoke emanate from the north (Area 9). Two imposing knight statues flank the tall iron doors to Area 7.

• Door to Area 12: Locked. Keys are held by a priest in Area 6 and Captain Fardr in Area 10.
• Secret door to Area 11: Concealed behind a hinged bookcase full of moldering prayer books.
• Examining the statues: Each wears sun-decorated armor and grips a sword in both hands, pointing upward.
• Examining the swords: They can be pivoted downward.
• Pointing both swords downward: Causes the altar in Area 9 to slowly slide forward, revealing stone stairs to Area 14.
