Entering the Underground Cult Sanctuary - N - (-------------------------------------------------) - <---(M)---> E - - - This subterranean temple was built using a simple post-and-lintel method, in which horizontal beams rest on huge rectangular, red-granite upright supports. Alabaster slabs cover the floor, and quarried limestone have been ranged along the walls. It is obvious that architectural marvel was created for use by the infamous 'Cult of the Lady. ' Religious zealots who firmly believe that Maria de Pravoka, sister of Eleanor Diocletian, is the powerful lady-god represented in their cult lore. To your north is a cross-shaped room, which extends in four directions.
