Hewn into the Broken Crown, a magnificent fortress overlooks the surrounding plains, its intricate spires reaching high into the sky. Built partly from the pure crystal of the shattered mountain, partly from white stone, the Citadel of Resplendence is the center of the might of the Templars of Our Burning Saviour in the Interstice.
Giant blood-red banners bearing the sigil of Our Burning Saviour hang from the towers and archways, and runes of dark power dedicated to the Great Architect are carved into crystal and stone alike all over the Citadel. Its mighty walls are patrolled by Tzaangor Templars clad in shining golden armour, while within its halls dark rituals are performed by Our Saviour’s priesthood. Regularly, a multitude of pyres are lit in the Citadel as an act of worship, the cries of those burned echoing down the mountain. Down at the Broken Crown’s base sit vast camps of feral Tzaangor attracted by the gigantic crystalline structure, its inhabitants waiting to be integrated into the Templars’ growing armies.
