Description
The Sacred Chapel of the Visions of Saint Amoniel is in an unassuming house in Panthersville, at the end of a cul-de-sac in a somewhat run-down yet quiet section of town. It was a rather unique feature, though, in that underneath the small, 1-story house is a rather spacious reinforced concrete bomb-shelter.
Upstairs
The first floor of the house has been almost completely renovated, what was once a hallway leading to the bedrooms is now an open space. The master bedroom lacks a fourth wall (open to the old hallway area) and makes a foyer. The highlight of this new foyer is a curving oak staircase downwards into the bomb shelter. Opposite the staircase is a kneeler in front of a small altar set against the wall for private contemplations.
The other sections of the house have been separated from the main foyer area by a set of artistically carved columns. The columns, if one looks closely, seem to have faces carved into them.
On the opposite side of the columns the rooms there have been combined into one spacious sitting room. The furniture there is arranged to be comfortable. A bookshelf with several older looking selections sits along one wall. One other room remains, closed to most access as well as locked, and exists as a sunproofed bedroom.
The front door is always unlocked, and there is a single mortal security guard right inside the foyer. The guard will not bother anyone who comes in unless they arent supposed to be there, and wont engage in conversation unless spoken to. Every day at an hour past sunrise he locks the chapel up and leaves, and returns an hour before sunset.
Downstairs
The downstairs is, in reality, the chapel proper, and as one descends the stairs they find a rather large room with a double-row of beautifully carved pews and a raised area at the end with a large stone alter, bloodstained at parts and bearing the large, monolithic seal of the Lancea Sanctum. The room has incandescent bulbs in the ceiling, with covers over them so that the room is infused with a low yellow-orange glow, rather then bright incandescence. There are medieval-looking alcoves in the walls which house white candles on brass candlesticks, and which are usually lit for ceremonies, furthering the ambiance of a medieval grotto that is so carefully cultivated there.
There is a side room off the dais that at one time was probably food storage, but now it holds the various trappings of the rites to be performed, as well as serving as a dramatic entrance for anyone or anything wishing to come on stage suddenly.
Where the organ used to be is now a grander entrance housing the end of the curving staircase from above. Dark red carpet leads down from the stairs, through the center aisle of the pews to the altar.
