St Mary Redcliffe - Bristol UK

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, widely known as St Mary Redcliffe, is the main Church of England parish church for the Redcliffe district of the city of Bristol, England. The first reference to a church on the site appears in 1158, with the present building dating from 1185 to 1872. The church is considered one of the country's finest and largest parish churches as well as an outstanding example of English Gothic architecture. The church is so large it is sometimes mistaken for Bristol Cathedral by tourists. The building has Grade I listed status, the highest possible category, by Historic England.

The church is notable for its many large stained glass windows, decorative stone vaults, flying buttresses, rare hexagonal porch and massive Gothic spire. With a height of 274 feet (84 m) to the top of the weathervane, St Mary Redcliffe is the sixth-tallest parish church in the country. The church spire is a major Bristol landmark, visible from across the city.

St Mary Redcliffe has received widespread critical acclaim from various architects, historians, poets, writers and monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I, on a visit to the church in 1574, described St Mary Redcliffe as "The fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England"; Simon Jenkins gives St Mary Redcliffe the maximum five-star rating in his book 'England's Thousand Best Churches', one of only eighteen to receive such a rating, describing it as a "masterpiece of English Gothic"; and Nikolaus Pevsner says that "St Mary Redcliffe need not fear comparison with any other English parish church".

I tend to see Admiral Spire's humility and lack of interest in politicking or furthering his own name as a sign that he was not a high noble on his homeworld

Pierce-the-sky Manor, isolated on the top of a hill, deep within the forests of Boromea, is said to shelter a witch, or an even worse evil at the top of its towers... On the red moon nights, dark creatures gather around, beckoned by whatever hides there.

something difficult about trying to design dracula's castle is that castles in transylvania are not horrible crumbling gothic messes and tend to look quite lovely actually

So far my favorite theory for Mercer’s D20 season is it having a King Arthur/Arthurian legend inspiration.

Salisbury Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Salisbury and is the seat of the Bishop of Salisbury.

The building is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture. Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.

The spire was built in 1320. It was heightened to 404 feet (123 m) and has been the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom since 1561. Visitors can take the “Tower Tour”, in which the interior of the hollow spire, with its ancient wooden scaffolding, can be viewed. The cathedral has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain at 80 acres (32 ha). It contains a clock which is among the oldest working examples in the world, and has one of the four surviving original copies of Magna Carta. In 2008, the cathedral celebrated the 750th anniversary of its consecration.

Dougal and Admiral Spire are fundamentally similar people with extremely similar personalities. they are pale men with short dark hair, a triangular hairline, and narrow eyes, as well as fairly defined, angular faces. they are extremely level-headed and even-keeled, concerned with practicality rather than mysticism or politics, humble but confident and self-assured commanders who care about their underlings [though not in a distant, unsentimental way] and treat them respectfully. they take pride in their profession but do not harbor lofty ambitions or seek out fame, and have gained their reputation in large part from fighting in a well-known war [War of the Gray Alliance/Fifth Eclipse, and 12th Black Crusade respectively]. both have also allied with, or helped out, elves, and later parted ways amiably.
