Basilica of Cora Holdfast, Exemplar of Loyalty | |||
A fusion of Highborn and Navarri styles and materials (made from Reikos white granite and Therunin weirwood), the basilica to Cora Holdfast in High Chalcis is part meditative shrine and part meeting hall for people to come and organise from across the Empire. | |||
The front of the complex is a long wooden hall where visiting pilgrims are encouraged to meet their fellows over food and drink, share their ideas and problems and offer support to each. It is a noisy and busy place but one that frequently inspires pilgrims to appreciate how they can help each other get things done and live the Loyalty that Cora exemplified. | |||
At end of the hall is a large square domed stone chamber that is quieter and more somber. A white granite statue of the Exemplar stands on a raised platform in the centre with its lifelike carving showing her with her arms crossed looking upon pilgrims with a listening but challenging expression. Scenes of Cora's life and Signs are displayed on the surrounding walls in mosaics to educate and inspire, while underneath the statue are hundreds of small pigeonholes where pilgrims leave written oaths and promises that they want to acknowledge or seek help in keeping. These are cleared daily but it is customary that those who leave a written oath or promise take away and wear a slip of pink ribbon as a token of their pilgrimage and commitment. | |||
