Overview
Roman Temple Aeternox is an ancient, sealed anatomical theatre beneath the University of Vienna and the Roman amphitheatre known as Fourvière. The temple has been repurposed by the Aeternum Choir as the primary ritual site for the Lyon cell’s harmonic working.
Location & Geography
- Parent Site: Beneath Fourvière amphitheatre and the University of Vienna
- Access: Hidden entrance; possibly through catacombs or subterranean passages
- Depth: Underground chamber, sealed and isolated from the surface world
- Atmosphere: Ancient stone, moisture, echoing emptiness
Architecture
- Main Chamber: Circular or rectangular ritual space with acoustic properties
- Altar/Performance Platform: Central focal point for the ritual
- Seating/Standing Areas: For cult participants and observers
- Resonance Channels: Built into walls and floor to amplify specific frequencies
- Air Vents: Allowing sound to travel through subterranean network
Occult Significance
The temple site has been chosen for its inherent harmonic properties. Ancient architects (whether Roman or earlier) designed the space to resonate with specific frequencies. The Choir has:
- Cleared and sealed the space
- Added new acoustic enhancements
- Prepared it for the 14 July ritual
- Protected it with occult wards and physical guardians
The 14 July Ritual
On the night of 14 July 1814, the temple was to host the Lyon cell’s component of the Grand Canticle. The ritual will:
- Invoke Yog-Sothoth through synchronized harmonic performance
- Require the presence of all eight sites’ ritual singers
- Demand significant magical and physical energy from participants
- Potentially open a gateway or establish a permanent connection to the Outer God
SAN Exposure
Investigators who enter the temple should make SAN checks (0/1D4) reflecting the weight of ancient wrongness and the feeling that the space was built for inhuman purposes.
