The Gorgon Society Headquarters Building / Landmark in Orya | World Anvil

The Gorgon Society Headquarters

The headquarters for The Gorgon Society isn’t a widely known place. Very few people, even among the organization, know where the headquarters is located or how to access it. This is done for the purpose of keeping the leaders of the organization secret, as well as keep them safe. The location that the headquarters can be found in is a deep underground area, many kilometers under the ground. It has three entrances/exits, and all three are difficult to access from the outside. The walls are made with very durable, magic-resistant metal, and are around a meter thick. The inside of the headquarters is enchanted with anti-teleportation magic to prevent intruders from bypassing security.   The first and most accessible entrance is a heavy steel door that has been magically reinforced, as well as enchanted to resist magical effects. The door itself is shaped like a giant snake head that occupies the entrance to the headquarters. To open the door, one must present their Platinum Circle, and speak aloud a specific passcode that changes from week to week. Failure to do either of these will cause the eyes of the snake to open and turn the potential intruder to stone.   Another entrance is located on the bottom of the headquarters. This entrance can only be accessed if one has the ability to move through the ground; whether that be through tunneling or through phasing through it. This door is a circular metal slab that is sealed tightly shut with magic. To open this door, one must trace the shape of a Titanocondra with their finger on the door, which will allow them to lift it. The door is incredibly heavy, however, weighing in at over 6.4 tonnes.   The third door is the most well protected. The “door” is a platinum statue of Gorginia, the goddess of the Gorgons. To open this door, one must gaze into the eyes of the statue with the Eyes of Gorginia, which is a special blessing that can be granted either from the top members of the organization, or through Gorginia herself. Doing this will cause the statue to step aside until they enter. Gazing into the statue’s eyes without the Eyes of Gorginia will cause the potential intruder to be petrified. If the statue is touched, it will spring to life and attack whomever touched it.
