Headquarters of the Church, the marble Chrysalis Basilica is located in northwest Shallam and is home to the Guardians of Light and the Empyreal Assembly. The Holy Codex and the Codex of Light are also located within. Originally situated in Delos, it was at the Basilica that the orders of the Priests and the Paladins were founded.
One of the earliest, and possibly most memorable, events in its history was the funeral of Nicator where Priests and Occultists, Serpents and Druids all stood side by side in peace, unified in their mourning. In the words of the architect Lantis deGage: "It could have been the first and last time that the Basilica would ever be crammed with so diverse a group." [1] Also notable was the Basilica's role as a haven for Delosian refugees during the Wars of Succession, though it did not stop the forces of Castomira Brangwin from seeking out and murdering the family of Damen Kephry.
In modern times, the Church petitioned to Sarapis to move the Basilica to Shallam. The first formal wedding was held here in the year 196 AF in the Wedding Chamber of Maya between Changcoix and Morlana. Some years later, in 217 AF, the Goddess Aurora helped to organise a choir for orphans to join, led by Handel, the Choirmaster. Tragedy befell the Basilica in 288 AF when it was destroyed in the events surrounding the coming of Varian and the Aetolian Saga. However, thanks to the efforts of the Gods Lorielan and Pentharian, the Basilica was rebuilt in 301 AF and currently stands today.
