Crone Temple

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

HISTORY:The Crone Temple is a sacred place used by the Woven Circle, Sacramento's Circle of the Crone. Chris Wooding found this place, as it was fitting to have a new place for meetings, rituals and other veneration for the new Circle. The Crone Farm has not been used ever since Dirge stepped down as Hierophant.

The building itself is an old forgotten church in the relatively new Valencia.

Inside the Temple

When arriving through the main entrance, one directly enters the ritual room, as is usual with churches. Aside from several wooden benches against the walls and the altar, this main room is mostly empty. However, if you look closely, you will notice the countless etchings on the altar, walls and even floor are not marks of time, but carved names of forgotten names of gods and goddesses from across the world. Not only that, but the walls of the Temple are decorated with commissioned murals - Above the main door a gaping maw, long and bubbling dark red tongue stretching out as frail and weak beings outlined in black struggled to climb in, dark shadows of buildings in the background. Near it, a small brass plaque reads 'Running, Running'

On a wall to the right, a demonic horse, veins and black sinew twisting together, rows of sharp rotten teeth in place of a normal mouth. Upon the horse, a figure was attached - a woman, human and pale, thin and sickly, her legs connected to the horse where she would remain forever. And in her arms, the image of a child - alive and free from the prison its mother was now bound to, and with a future bright - even as blackened trees collapsed around them. A symbol of a cycle so far unending. The plaque near this one reads 'All'.

To the left, a ship floating over a wasteland with survivors on its deck - beings that resembled Kindred, now bound by something bigger than themselves. Upon the masts and hanging on the sides were symbols occult and vampiric; signs of Invictus and Lancea, Crone and Ordo... and Carthian. All unified on one vessel, combined into something that would survive this bleak future. A symbol of unity among the ruins of the past. 'In Darkness', informs a piece of brass.

All plaques have one thing in common - an engraved inscription 'By Seth Kind, master painter; 2019. The Circle's gratitude is with him'.

Several doors lead to several rooms. With the right keys one can reach the storage room or a small meeting room, which also serves as a library.
