One fan made the Cathedral a [[pocket domain]] located inside a remote part of [[Mordent]]. The people of [[Dorsit]] know of the Cathedral and curse it, thinking it home to a powerful [[fiend]].  This rumor is partially true. Whereas no [[demon]], [[devil]], or the like infests the cathedral, there is a [[mad]] [[elven vampire]] named [[Christian the Mad Vampire|Christian]] and his two [[dread golem]]s, [["Werebat"]] and [[Billie Bonez]]. In addition, the place is [[haunted]] by the [[ghost]] of a former [[priestess]], [[the Dark Mother Miranda]]. Despite these threats, the greatest menace in the Dark Cathedral is [[the Beast of the Cathedral]]. The Beast seems merely a horrific [[monster]], but she is actually a [[cursed]] [[human]] woman named [[Lady Karalyn Valkyrie]]. She was [[transformed]] by the Dark Mother and forced to destroy her lover and adventuring companion, [[Andros Valkyrie]]. However, after her collar was [[destroyed]], she unleashed her full wrath on the Dark Mother and [[killed]] her, drawing the Cathedral into [[the Mists]].<ref>[[Alanik Ray's Library]] [http://fraternityofshadows.com/TheCemetery.html Archives- Places p. 160] </ref>

The Cathedral of the Damned[1] is a grim edifice covered with the iconography of fallen celestials and other images that are both angelic and horrific to behold. The first occupants of the Cathedral, the priests of some unknown faith, fell to corruption, and the Cathedral has been tainted ever since. Wolves and worgs patrol the ground outside. Geodomonias, described as "winged vampires" stand watch over the Cathedral like gargoyles, but they are unrelated. Geodomanias become active at night.

A century following the corruption of the original inhabitants, a mad vampire came to the Cathedral. Driven more by dark desire than reason, he has conducted several blasphemous experiments, including a werebat zombie that has somehow managed to maintain its intelligence. The young paladin Thoris Tregart south to avenge his murdered father, but he himself was murdered. Ultimately failing at his quest, Thoris now wanders the Cathedral as a radiant spirit, making it an eve more horrible place.
