There is only the one... «Agents of Light and Darkness»

There is only the one church in the Nightside. It`s called St. Jude`s. I only ever go there on business. It`s nowhere near the Street of the Gods, with its many and varied places of worship. It`s tucked away in a quiet corner, shadowed and obscured, no part of the Nightside`s usual bright and gaudy neon noir. Dedicated to the patron saint of lost causes, St. Jude`s is an old, old place; a cold stone structure possibly older even than Christianity itself. The bare stone walls are grey and featureless, unmarked by time or design, with only a series of narrow slits for windows. One great slab of stone, covered with a cloth of white samite, serves as an altar, facing two rows of blocky wooden pews. A single silver cross hangs on the wall beyond the altar; and that`s it. St. Jude`s isn`t a place for comfort, for frills and fancies and the trappings of religion. There is no priest or attendant, and there are no services. St. Jude`s is, quite simply, your last chance in the Nightside for salvation, sanctuary, or one final desperate word with your God. Come to this church looking for a spiritual Band-Aid, and you could end up with a hell of a lot more than you bargained for.
Prayers are heard in St. Jude`s; and sometimes answered.
