The Cathedral

The Cathedral is the home of the Children of the Cathedral. It can be found one square west and nineteen squares south of Vault 13, or just south of the Boneyard.

Background
The Children of the Cathedral's leaders including Morpheus and Lasher reside here. The church conceals the headquarters of the Master, in a demonstration vault underneath the building. The Children worship the Master in the church, where a holo-projector is used to display a large image of him in the main nave.

Entrance
Various children devotees, enforcers, and chanter can be found in front of the entrance. Named characters include Slummer, Zark, and Calder. If one convinces Nicole to aid in the attack on the Cathedral, four Follower scholars will appear from the west. They all wear metal armor and are equipped with two spears, a sledgehammer, and a Ripper.

Interior
Laura is in the chapel to the west, while Viola is in the meditation room to the south of the chapel. The main chamber is filled with benches facing the central altar with a podium used by Morpheus. Sister Francis and Ton, who leads the Children's forces, stand by the locked entrance to the tower, requiring a red badge to enter.

To the northwest is Father Lasher's quarters. South of it is the dormitory and the infirmary staffed by Dr. Wu. The opposite end contains the gift shop and a small maintenance chamber with a nuclear generator hooked into the power grid. The storage room in the back is only accessible with the black badge and contains the stairs leading down into the basement and the hidden vault entrance.

Tower
They will attack if the player character has any followers, or trespasses (as in, does not have a red badge or does not wear the purple robes). Fighting on one floor does not turn characters on other floors hostile and will not affect relations with people on the main cathedral map.

The first floor has Dane, a servitor, and two nightkin in the chamber to the west. The next one has two bedrooms and a library with Mach IV computers, and three nightkin. One of them faces the stairwell. The top floor has Morpheus in the easternmost chamber and a large barracks for nightkin. The footlocker contains the unique Tesla armor.

Demonstration vault
Located in the basement of the Cathedral, which requires a black badge to access. The entrance to the vault is hidden behind a fake bookcase. The bookcase in the southeastern corner can be used to activate the door with a lockpick, traps, or waiting until Jeremiah opens the door. The access cavern contains several floaters and centaurs, with mutants standing watch over the entrance. Two nightkin stand guard at the entrance at all times.

The second level has a chapel, barracks, a large research lab where mad scientists work on awakening the psychic potential in humans, and the Psychic and test subject cells. The third level is guarded by Viscious. It is here that the elevator to secure storage is located. On the eastern side lies the corridor that leads to the Master. The Nuke key to the detonation console is held by Lieutenant.
