Raven's Crest

Raven's Crest is a temple dedicated to the worship of the Raven Queen. It is located in the Duskmeadow District of Vasselheim. It is also a center of knowledge and history, embodying one of the oldest libraries in the city.

Exterior
The entrance to the Raven's Crest is through two large, 8 by 12 foot glass doors at the top of a flight of stairs. The glass is one-sided; when one looks in from the outside it appears opaque, but those inside can clearly see out.

Interior
The main chamber just inside the entrance serves as a walkway, and the lighting is low. The hallway leads for another hundred feet before the glass of the walls begins to change into a different material as one enters the next chamber. That next chamber is dark gray and ivory, and feels as though it is carved of ice and bone.

The most sacred chamber is the communion pool. The pool is in a room at the top of a 40 foot tall staircase, behind a dark oak door with a large iron ring door knocker. Inside is a 100 foot high room with a steepled dome roof. The dome is made entirely of multicolored stained glass, and in the center of the chamber is a large round pool full of ice cold blood.

When someone enters the pool and communes with the Raven Queen, they must allow their lungs to fill with the blood, rather than resist.
