Eldritch Creature’s Guide - Chapter 259 Bishop Of The Hall

Legendary Level Professionals were lofty individuals that were standing on the peak of the Material Plane of the Cosmos. In some areas of the Material Planes of the Cosmos, they ruled entire Worlds and they were the backbones of any proper factions.

So even for the powerful faction, it would be problematic to force them actually do things like this…

Only a few factions had such inner organization and structure, hierarchy and nature that they could order their Legendaries like this and most of them could be counted on one hand.

“Then we should be going… I also want to take a look at the local architecture and temples of the Ásatrú Pantheon.”

Afterward, they strode through the city, which was a different feeling for Samiel, especially from appearances.

All the towns he visited till now were absolutely humongous, but the Jorvik, even though it was the capital of the entire hegemonial nation of Skrånøtiå, was relatively modest.

Most of it was attributed to the culture of the people of the Skrånøtiå; there were no huge builds, large-sized districts, or whatever.

Houses were modest; after humans, the second most populous race of Skrånøtiå, were dwarves and thus there was a good number of houses made of distinctive dwarven stone-carving architecture.

Naturally, there was nothing like a noble district or something like he saw in the previous locations because the people of Skrånøtiå were divided into social classes based on their combat prowess.

Those who were stronger and produced more warriors lived in bigger houses and those who did not in smaller ones.

Though they were all modest, in his opinion.

Yet one thing which was certainly unique to the Skrånøtiå was the number of “public fight areas” or battle arenas where the citizens were fighting and comparing their martial prowess.

Slowly they arrived in front of a huge temple that was dedicated to the Ásatrú Pantheon.

Like most, if not all, of the buildings in the city, this one was too made from only stone and wood and was designated to resemble the longhouse and mead hall that were common across the society.

The exterior of the temple featured intricate carvings and other decorations that paid homepage to the Ásatrú Pantheon. The main entrance to the temple was adorned with a large wooden dorn that was decorated with the carvings of Ásatrú Runes and creatures affiliated with their Faith.

“It is certainly more modest than ones worshipping other Pantheons.”

Samiel remarked as they went to the Grand Cathedral of the Outer Court of the Hall of Kadath, which was the only tall building in the entire city.

In a certain sense, it was destroying the entire appearance of the city with its gothic appearance and somewhat creepy statues of the Outer Gods and mystic creatures.

When they arrived at the Grand Cathedral of the Outer Court, it was guarded by a whole bunch of Silver-Tier Templar Knights acting under the command of the Gold-Tier Templar Knights.

It was rather an impressive lineup on such Lower Floor, but the Hall of Kadath had a few of the Temples and Churches in the Tower and all of them were protected with rather powerful military setups.

When the Templar Knights of the Holy Templar Order saw Juulius, they gave him a traditional bow of Templar, as his distinctive features as the descent of the House of Crawford, were very well known among every Templar Knight.

When they entered the Cathedral, Juulius and Yvraine together with the felines, remained back while only Samiel went further, down through the long hall.

The interior of a Gothic cathedral is typically divided into three parts: the nave, the transept, and the choir.

The nave is the central aisle of the cathedral, and it runs from the main entrance to the altar at the front of the building. The walls of the nave were lined with rows of columns that supported the towering arches and vaults overhead. The windows along the sides of the nave were tall and narrow, allowing in a diffuse, colorful light that filled the space with a soft, ethereal glow.

The transept is the cross-shaped section of the cathedral that intersects with the nave. This area typically houses the choir stalls and the pulpit, and it may also include a small chapel or shrine. The transept is often one of the most ornately decorated areas of the cathedral, with intricate carvings, statues, and stained-glass windows that depict scenes from the Gospel of the Outer Gods.

The choir is the section of the cathedral that surrounds the altar, and it was reserved for use by the clergy and the choir. The choir stalls are often intricately carved and decorated with images of saints, angels, and other religious figures.

The high altar was typically located at the center of the choir, and it may be adorned with elaborate decorations such as void crystals, statues of the Outer Gods and other things deciphered in the Gospel of the Outer Gods.

“Welcome, Holy Son, to my humble temple.”

Samiel heard a voice of a man who was wearing the clothes of priest, rather simple, but it had modifications to suit the weather of the Northern Ocean Area, as it was made from furs of the creatures that lived in the Skrånøtiå.

Naturally, Samiel’s appearance and movements were very well known among the upper echelons of the Hall of Kadath, so Bishop Vilgar knew that the Holy Son of their factions had come to the 11th Floor and he was aware that sooner or later, he would come to the Skrånøtiå.

Bishop Vilgar was an elderly-looking man with a long gray beard, but even though he looked like an old man, the muscular physique of a warrior was absolutely undeniable. His entire posture was screaming “word” warrior and his muscular physique could be seen even from a distance.

“I thank you for your welcome, Bishop Vilgar.”

Samiel stated as he sat down next to Bishop Vilgar in the front row of seats, which was closest to the Altar of the Outer Court.

“May I ask, what has brought you to my temple, Your Highness Holy Son?”

Bishop Vilgar asked Samiel, who proceeded to explain the situation at hand.

“I need access to the information network of the Skrånøtiå and also, I need to buy a ship. Preferably one of their best ships that have available… it would be nice if it came with some nice discount.”

Bishop of the Grand Catherdal of Skrånøtiå nodded in understanding and proceeded to contact the High Jarl of the Skrånøtiå, who was essentially something like a king of the nation.

Naturally, the Hall of Kadath had a big say in the matters of the Skrånøtiå, as the Faith of the Outer Gods was the official state religion of the Skrånøtiå.

It wasn’t a theocracy because Ásatrú Faith was still practiced among the people of Skrånøtiå, but as the state religion and main ambassador of the Hall of Kadath on the 11th Floor, Bishop Vilgar had a big political influence within the nation of Skrånøtiå.
