The Basilica is the most important building in a Faendryl city. It houses the Patriarch, the leader of the Faendryl, and his family. As such, the Basilica also has a host of Palestrian trained guards, known as Basilican Guards, to defend to Patriarch. The Basilica is the center of Faendryl politics, and most major political events, decisions, or gatherings take place inside it. Because sorcery and demonic summoning are such integral parts of the Faendryl culture, a vast number of sorcerers and summoners are often to be found at the Basilica. Most government regulated arcane research takes place in underground levels of the Basilica. Many of these sorcerers are intended as additional protection for the Basilica as well, in addition to the research that they do.
