You walk through the door, and find yourself in a cathedral.
The cathedral is chiseled from deep blue marble with white veins. It has an entrance hallway to the west, through which you are coming, leading into a domed, circular area.
The inside is dark and still, with a faint scent of incense. Upon entering, you are filled with calm and peace. Throughout the cathedral are men, wearing midnight blue robes with silver trim. There is a continual gentle chanting, a combination of worship and benediction.
The outer walls, seen from the inside, are covered with glowing pictures, pictures which somehow almost seem to be moving. They vibrantly tell legends and stories.
The hallway, as you walk, opens into the center dome. The dome appears as the starry sky, shedding its soft blue light over the cathedral. It is supported by twelve pillars in a circle, and beneath it is a shimmering, radiant pool.
Outside of the pillars, is a larger, circular court. At the border are more pictures.
To the South is a mirror.
To the North is a heavy, oaken table, worked with gold leaf. On it lies an immense vellum codex, which seems to be recounting the tale of your life. You read from birth to now, looking eagerly to the future, but the pages will not turn.
To the East is an altar, behind which is a locked door.
To the West is a hallway, leading to the door through which you came.
