The Boddington-Torrance Monastery

Shortly after the dedication of the Greater Beldam Cathedral, during the reign of Grand Vox Yahtari the 1st, the church was gifted an extensive monastery funded by the Boddington and Torrance families. The monastery was a grand and beautiful construction, with many dormitories, a chapel for clergy, a large kitchen with a grand dining room, a proper ballroom, and a gold walled room that would serve as "Cathedra Magnifico," or the Great Chair, where the Grand Vox would hold court and establish office. The Grand Vox and all members of the Order of Saint Polidori have private chambers in the monastery. The public is rarely allowed tours and, usually, only on the feastday of St. Yahtari.
The Monastery was built on a large network of underground chambers. These chambers were built to serve as the Grand Vox's private chapel, a library with an underground vault (housing the church's Prohibited Collection), a fortified vault for storing treasure and wealth, catacombs and tombs for clergy, and tunnels to aid in the evacuation of clergy and sacred items. The walls of the underground chambers are elaborately adorned with reliefs and etched words that recall the history of Beldam's Most Illuminated Church.
The monastery has served as the headquarters of the Grand Vox since the Yahtari the 1st, the founder of Beldam's Most Illuminated Church. It is surrounded by a tall and wide wall that protects it from attackers and the public alike. There is a guard, known as Saint Yahtari's Guard, that serves and security for the monastery and the larger complex that also holds the Greater Beldam Cathedral. The complex has many buildings, including offices, storerooms, a public library and reading room, a kitchen and dining room used for feeding meals to the poor, and a printing press that produces holy texts, notices and public texts, as well as a weekly newspaper called "Instar Is Sicco" or "Figure It Out."
