===The Inner Sanctum of Security=== | ===The Inner Sanctum of Security=== | ||
[[Shakiniel|Shakiniel's]] sanctuary is an enormous basilica that sits within a lush green valley surrounded by endless plains and tall forests. The halls of the basilica are devoted to various tools utilized by the forces of Shakiniel. None are more important than the shield, though, representing Shakiniel's most important tenets of safety and security. | |||
The Inner Sanctum is marked by an immense domed ceiling looming high above the floor of the basilica, legions of archangels painted on it in glorious colours. Huge marble pylons are arranged in a circle around an ornately carved marble throne, each pylon crafted in the shape of a spear. Tower shields embossed with symbols of golden wings hang at intervals around the basilica walls. A few stained glass windows provide colourful light to the halls, as well as two brass braziers that burn on either side of the throne. | |||

Rows and rows of bookshelves filled with books and records surround the Divine Court of Immaculate Judgements, the sanctuary of [[Japhiel]]. A space has been set aside here for great debates, contemplating the many values held dear by those who serve the Holy Supernals. | Rows and rows of bookshelves filled with books and records surround the Divine Court of Immaculate Judgements, the sanctuary of [[Japhiel]].

*'''a beatific cherub''' - The cherub is a divine being that appears as a plump, small child. He has glowing alabaster skin and golden curls that frame rosy, dimpled cheeks. His small feathery wings peek out from behind a bright white toga. His feet never touch the ground as he is wont to perform aerial acrobatics, all the while giggling with delight. There is an infectious aura of love and joy that surrounds him. A beatific cherub is not one to be trifled with. He weighs about 60 pounds. He has a moderate weakness to excorable damage. He has a great resistance to divinus damage. | *'''a beatific cherub''' - The cherub is a divine being that appears as a plump, small child.

*'''a seraphic angel''' - Aglow with holy light, a seraphic angel stands tall and willowy, his golden hair alive around his perfect face, his skin vibrant with a pearly sheen, and his wings softly billowing from his shoulder blades. Draped in simple white robes, his bare feet never touch the ground. A halo of light surrounds his head, and his luminous golden eyes are deep wells of love and grace. Accompanying the angel is the distant sound of a choir, chanting sweet hymns and filling the air with blessings and purity. A seraphic angel seems strong and confident. He weighs about 171 pounds. He has a moderate weakness to excorable damage. He has a great resistance to divinus damage. | *'''a seraphic angel''' - Aglow with holy light, a seraphic angel stands tall and willowy, his golden hair alive around his perfect face, his skin vibrant with a pearly sheen, and his wings softly billowing from his shoulder blades.

*'''a celestial archangel''' - Grandest among the angelic hosts are the archangels of Celestia. She is tall and statuesque, her enormous wings tall behind her back, though she soars in the air without moving them. Wearing a golden breastplate over a white robe that ripples with divine power, she is wreathed in holy fire that flickers around her expectantly. Her face glows with divinity, and her eyes are sympathetic pools of light that shine forth a resonant luminosity. Wielding a flaming sword, her duty includes meting out justice when needed. The air fairly trembles with the holy aura she emits. A celestial archangel appears to be extraordinarily strong. She weighs about 625 pounds. She has a moderate weakness to excorable damage. She has a great resistance to divinus damage. | *'''a celestial archangel''' - Grandest among the angelic hosts are the archangels of Celestia.
