Overview
Saint Selena Cathedral (圣赛琳娜教堂) is one of the eight named regions on the world map that shipped with Lord of Mysteries, which puts it in the launch build rather than in lore alone. Launch map material describes it as the seat of the Church of the Evernight Goddess in Tingen, standing on Red Moon Street: a severe pointed-Gothic building whose bells are read by the city as a signal that all is calm.
The source material attaches a cathedral of this name to the imperial capital rather than to Tingen, and the architectural and operational description further down this page follows that older geography. Where the two disagree, the shipped map is what players can actually visit.
On the Launch Map
As a map region the cathedral sits alongside the city region itself and the six outdoor destinations. Its published description is short and atmospheric rather than mechanical: Gothic spires, a solemn silhouette, and the bell as the city's reassurance. What the region contains in play, including whether it holds quests, vendors or instanced content, has not been published.
Community builders have rebuilt the cathedral inside the game's housing system, which they describe as supporting more than a thousand combinable architectural parts, hundreds of religion-themed decoration pieces, and multi-storey vertical construction. That is a player-made recreation rather than an in-game interior, but it is a good indication of how recognisable the building's silhouette is.
Architecture
In the source material the cathedral occupies a large city block. The main worship hall is a Gothic vaulted nave with a rose window of indigo and silver, the Evernight Goddess's colours. A bell tower rises high above the skyline. Beneath the nave, a multi-level vault complex houses the cathedral's archives, ritual chambers, and Sequence-specific sanctums; the deepest sanctums are described as accessible only through Beyonder-keyed doors.
Visual identity: indigo-and-silver throughout, lunar iconography across stained glass and floor mosaics, and a quiet acoustic that carries whispered ritual chants without overpowering them. The building is one of the setting's signature architectural set pieces.
Public Worship
The cathedral hosts daily public services for the lay faithful, with major weekly services on the day of the Evernight Goddess. Public space is sized for thousands of worshippers. It also runs charity, education, and shelter services for the city's poor; the surface organisation is treated as one of the kingdom's most important religious institutions.
Civilians attending public services are entirely unaware of the Beyonder operations conducted beneath their feet. That balance of cover and public mission is one of the setting's recurring themes: the Churches maintain mainstream worship as both a sincere religious mission and a structural cover for Beyonder authority.
Beyonder Operations in the Source Material
The following describes the cathedral as the source material presents it. None of it has been published as a shipped in-game system.
A regional Nighthawk command, with senior captains and a large contingent of mid-Sequence operatives.
The headquarters of the Red Gloves cross-jurisdictional unit, including Leonard Mitchell's captaincy.
Sequence-specific advancement chapels for Beyonders aligned with the Evernight Goddess, each Sequence band holding its own ritual chamber further down the vaults. See Sequences.
An archive of Beyonder lore and historical records, including vault space for sealed artifacts on loan to Nighthawks and Red Gloves operations.
Cross-Church coordination space used for joint work with the Mandated Punishers and the Machinery Hivemind.
Player Relevance
The activities below follow the source material's structure. They are the obvious candidates for what a cathedral region would carry, but the studio has not published any of them as in-game features:
Advancement ceremonies for Nighthawks-aligned characters at higher Sequences.
Acting Method training with senior captains.
Red Gloves mission briefings and after-action debriefs.
Sealed artifact requisition and return for active operations.
An entry point into inner-sanctum group content. See Dungeons and Raids.
Test History
Players in the February 2026 Crimson Test could see the cathedral's exterior and its public worship hall but could not enter the deep sanctums. Tingen has since opened in full, and the cathedral is a named region on the shipped map. Backlund, which the source material gives as the home city of a cathedral by this name, is still not part of the launch build.
