Basilica of Amari

The great Basilica of Amari is the pre-eminent religious edifice in the Three Kingdoms and the administrative and spiritual centre of Amarianism.

Structure
The Great Basilica is a lofty structure making extensive use of glass and white brick. The large circular windows at the front of the edifice are ingeniously designed to swing open in summer to admit cooling breezes. The main part of the interior follows the usual model for Amarian places of worship with an atrium (functioning as an entrance way or meeting place), a nave (where the worshippers and priests assemble for worship) and the sanctum (an inner or protected room where religious paraphernalia is kept). The nave of the Basilica is a vast open space with a great altar at the eastern side. Construction began in 44 AU and its completion in 55 AU coincided with the celebration of the centenary of Amarian worship.

The crypts below the Basilica are the final resting place of many of the greatest servants of the church including a number of Archimandrites, Peers of Amari and paragons. The Basilica houses numerous relics, trophies and historical artefacts, some of which are on public display while others are locked away in hidden vaults.
