On a white marble staircase~
You stand on a white marble staircase which ascends upwards to the
massive cathedral of the Shielding. Each step is engraved with a
pictographic story of those who have fallen in the service of the Shielding.
High up is the gleaming white ediface of the cathedral. Below you
the stairs end at the north wall of Midgaard.

Within the cathedral~
You stand within the cathedral of the Shielding. A deep bass voice booms
in your head 'LOCK THE DOOR!'. On either side of the red carpeted aisle 
on which you stand are simple pews for pilgrims. But most impressive of
all are the stained glass windows that run from ceiling to the floor. To
the east is a window showing a deep subterranean city, and a Paladin 
locked in combat with a murderer. To the west is a window of a warrior
cutting his way through a swamp filled with green trolls. There are plaques
under each window.

Above you is a mural of the gods. You see Johnnus. Take a long look. This
is what he looks like. You wont see him much otherwise. You see Ryu trying
out some new special mob on Lok, who is squirming. You see Shelby, the 
sweetheart, helping out every mortal in sight. You see Redneck blasting
masters in a room called 'Redneck's wet dream'. Asmodean is riding his
cow forth to battle those who have an ethical view. You see Zak at his forge
crafting a weapon of great power. There are others, but the god who stands
out most to you is Drizzit, patron god of the Shielding who is smiting
down thieves and asses and dark knights who belong to other, worthless clans.
