Purpose / Function
The House of the Seas has served as the main temple dedicated to Muskha the Deep Goddes for almost two Millenias. The servants of the Deep Goddes do their pilgrimages there and many high ranking members of the church are living there including the Seatouched, the leader of the faith.
Alterations
The House of the Seas began as a humble cave dwelling in the coastal cliffs, but as more and more funds where gathered, a temple was build. First it was a small church, but as years passed by it has grown and grown like naturally, and nowadays it consists of several layers built on another. The main cathedral is sight to behold.
Architecture
Most of the temple is build to natural caverns with delicate, refining hand transforming the damp and rough stone to marvelous masterpiece. On top of the cliff there is a large building functioning as a sort of traveling center where visitors are kept. Only the faithfull are allowed to travel to the other parts of the temple. The main cathedral is a magnificent sight. It is built to underwater caves, and strong magics keep the water out of the hall. One wall is just an open space giving a sight to underwater world of Starfall Bay.
History
The House of the Seas was first established in last years of 10th Millenia. A couple of priests of the Deep Goddes where looking for a place to make a great altar for the Goddes of the Sea. Muskha led them to Starfall Bay and when the priest saw the large cliff filled with tunnels, some of which lead straight to underwater, they knew that it was the right place.
The temple has been built little by little by the church and constructions are always undergoing.
