Basilica of the Dozen Saints

The Basilica of the Dozen Saints is a major location in the Ringed City. Doubling both as its political and religious center, it is the centerpiece of the city.

Background
The Basilica stands in the Ringed City, within the Noble District, surrounded by a courtyard. The Basilica is also the location of the Glazed Tower, which can be seen from outside the city.

Hall of the Dozen
Upon entering the Basilica, one is greeted with a large worship area, enough to hold 70,000 congregants. The left and right walls are decorated with twelve statues, six on each side: the original Apostolic Dozen. The back of the hall has an altar where one of the resident priests hold religious services (the Papal Emperor is not required to hold services except for state holidays, though they can hold them during regular days if they choose to do so).

Eastern Courtyard
To the east of the Basilica is a door to an open courtyard, with various buildings situated around a fountain. These buildings are the official offices of the various ministries that run the day-to-day events of the Ringed City. This courtyard connects to the central courtyard.

Western Hall
The western hall contains the living areas of the clergy, staff, as well as the personal rooms of the Council members. There is a door here that opens to the central courtyard.

Central Courtyard
The central courtyard contains the Glazed Tower, where official Council business is done. The top of the tower adorned with a golden rendition of the Blessed Circle, which is described as looking like honey.
