To the outside world, '''the Cathedral''' is nothing more than an innocent (albeit intimidating) set up for the [[Children of the Cathedral]] organization, which tries to bring love and peace to the wastes. Below it, however, lies a secret underground [[Vault]] (more specifically, the [[Los Angeles Vault]]), which serves as a home and base for the [[Master]].
+
The '''Cathedral''' is the holiest site of the [[Children of the Cathedral]] and the seat of power for [[Morpheus]] and other leaders of the faith. It doubles as a facade for the [[Los Angeles Vault|Los Angeles vault]], concealing the [[Master]]'s headquarters.

==History==
+
==Background==
  +
The building that would become the Cathedral dates back to the pre-War times. It likely belonged to the [[Vault-Tec Corporation]] and was used in conjunction with the technology demonstrator vault built below its foundations. The vault was fully functional and when the [[Great War]] came, it was used to full effect. The survivors would emerge after 15 years, in 2092, helping found the Los Angeles Boneyard.<ref>[[Fallout Bible 0#Timeline repair Second strike|Fallout Bible 0]]: "2092 ''LA Vault opens, the Boneyard is founded and attracts survivors."''</ref>
The Cathedral was built some time after [[Timeline#2155|2155]], following the Master's discovery of the [[Boneyard]] Vault. He conquered the inhabitants and set up operations there, and the human cultists began to use the Vault as their powerbase. Eventually, this monumental building known as the Cathedral was constructed above the Vault. The Cultists thus became known as the Children of the Cathedral.
 
   
  +
In 2152, after Morpheus and his doomsday cultists pledged allegiance to the Master, the Cathedral was turned into the central church of the newly formed public face of the [[Unity]].<ref>[[Fallout Bible 0#Timeline repair Second strike|Fallout Bible 0]]: "2152 ''As their influence slowly spreads throughout the wastes, the Master finds humans, doomsday cultists, and rather than dip them in the vats, he demands their obedience as spies - their leader is a man named Morpheus, and he pledges his followers to the Master. Morpheus and his cultists form the future core of the Children of the Cathedral."''</ref> The Children were formally established in 2156, starting to spread out into the wastelands from their new Cathedral, adapted from its pre-War role.<ref>[[Fallout Bible 0#Timeline repair Second strike|Fallout Bible 0]]: "2156 ''The Master sees advantages in establishing a benevolent "religion," the Children of the Cathedral, and using them as spies in settlements throughout the wastes. Missionaries from the Children of the Cathedral spread slowly across the wasteland, acting as eyes and ears for Morpheus and the Master."''</ref><ref>The [[Vault Dweller]]: ''"{177}{}{Tell me about the Cathedral.}"''<br />[[Lasher]]: ''"{216}{}{The Cathedral is a sanctuary for the human race. When the apocalypse fell on this foul city, the Cathedral was spared, which allowed for the birth of the Master. Thus a healing darkness emerged from a terrible light.}"''<br />''"{217}{}{ When I came, I saw this place lacked a moral center, and so I have endeavored to administer teaching pain to a place once consumed with idle pleasure. That is all you need to know.}"''<br />([[LASHER.MSG|Lasher's dialogue]])</ref>
The Cathedral was destroyed in [[Timeline#2162|2162]] either by a man known as the [[Vault Dweller]] or by the Master himself, when he learned that his [[super mutant]]s were sterile.
 
   
  +
As the heart of the Children's religion, the Cathedral was frequented by numerous visitors, chanters, enforcers, and even zombies failed candidates for Servitors, brainwashed and released into the Cathedral to support the cause with what remained of their minds.<ref>[[Dane]]: "''{170}{}{This is the baptismal. They make Servitors here. When acolytes have been indoctrinated, they bring them here and they go through the process. A few of them survive . . .}
==Construction==
 
  +
<br />''{171}{}{Most lose their minds, but they're still useful. They throw them downstairs, rant at them about the Master and walk around in a stupor. You've seen the zombies. Great slave labor -- and soldiers . . .}
Most of the Cathedral ground was taken up by the massive main chapel, whose vaulted ceiling was lost in the darkness above. Small chambers flanking the entrance to it were usually taken up by chanters or other devotees, while doors from the chapel itself led into the Cathedral's infirmary (headed by the notorious Dr. [[Wu]]), the shop, offering various souvenirs for the discerning pilgrim, the buildings main power generator, High Elder [[Lasher]]'s chambers, the base of the tower as well as access to the basement, where all the less useful things were stored...including the entrance to the [[Los Angeles Vault]].
 
  +
<br />''{172}{}{John Brown's body is molderin' in the Grave. John Brown's body is molderin' in the Grave, John Brown's body is a-molderin' in the Grave, and the Master's screwing us overrrrr . . .}''"</ref> The massive main chapel, with its ceiling lost in darkness, was used to display holographic images of the Master to the faithful, inspiring awe in the assembled. The holo-projector, hidden beneath the podium, was not common knowledge and most interpreted it as a supernatural apparition. Father Morpheus, the leader of the Children, would occasionally give sermons in the main nave, though most of the time the faithful had to contend with a giant monochrome display reciting dogma at a feverish pace.<ref>[[Laura (Fallout)|Laura]]</ref>
   
  +
Visitors could purchase souvenirs at the Cathedral shop, receive treatment from the infamously foul-mouthed Dr. [[Wu]], and even seek spiritual guidance from the many thinkers meditating inside rooms and chapels... Or at the end of Father [[Lasher]]'s prod. All of this ceased when the Cathedral was destroyed on [[Timeline#2162|March 3, 2162]], as the [[Vault Dweller]] assassinated the Master and the vault, together with the building above, was engulfed in nuclear fire.<ref>[[Fallout Bible 0]]: "2162 March 3 ''Vault Dweller kicks the Master's ass."''</ref>
From time to time, Father Morpheus would come down from his chambers to give a speech to the gathered faithful. Sometimes, even a giant holographic image of the [[Master]] appeared, to the awe of the assembled.
 
   
  +
==Layout==
The adjoining tower had three floors, where the [[Nightkin]] resided, as well as the more important members of the [[Children of the Cathedral]], like high priests. [[Dane]] resided in a room on the first floor of the tower, while [[Morpheus]], the leader of the Children, resided on the third, upper floor.

"Acolytes of the New God"
This is the Cathedral of the Children of the Cathedral. I don't know why they say Cathedral twice.— A teenager

The Cathedral is the holiest site of the Children of the Cathedral and the seat of power for Morpheus and other leaders of the faith. It doubles as a facade for the Los Angeles vault, concealing the Master's headquarters.

Location

The Cathedral can be found one square west and nineteen squares south of Vault 13.

Background

The building that would become the Cathedral dates back to the pre-War times. It likely belonged to the Vault-Tec Corporation and was used in conjunction with the technology demonstrator vault built below its foundations. The vault was fully functional and when the Great War came, it was used to full effect. The survivors would emerge after 15 years, in 2092, helping found the Los Angeles Boneyard.[1]

In 2152, after Morpheus and his doomsday cultists pledged allegiance to the Master, the Cathedral was turned into the central church of the newly formed public face of the Unity.[2] The Children were formally established in 2156, starting to spread out into the wastelands from their new Cathedral, adapted from its pre-War role.[3][4]

As the heart of the Children's religion, the Cathedral was frequented by numerous visitors, chanters, enforcers, and even zombies failed candidates for Servitors, brainwashed and released into the Cathedral to support the cause with what remained of their minds.[5] The massive main chapel, with its ceiling lost in darkness, was used to display holographic images of the Master to the faithful, inspiring awe in the assembled.

Father Morpheus, the leader of the Children, would occasionally give sermons in the main nave, though most of the time the faithful had to contend with a giant monochrome display reciting dogma at a feverish pace.[6]

Visitors could purchase souvenirs at the Cathedral shop, receive treatment from the infamously foul-mouthed Dr. Wu, and even seek spiritual guidance from the many thinkers meditating inside rooms and chapels... Or at the end of Father Lasher's prod. All of this ceased when the Cathedral was destroyed on March 3, 2162, as the Vault Dweller assassinated the Master and the vault, together with the building above, was engulfed in nuclear fire.[7]

Entrance

Rising from among the sea of ruins, the Cathedral is almost pristine. Together with the destruction and erosion of the shoreline, it would likely qualify as a seaside property.

Named characters include Slummer, Zark, and Calder, though they offer little in the way of assistance and act mostly to give flavor to the location. If the player convinced Nicole to aid in the attack on the Cathedral, four Follower scholars will appear from the west. They all wear metal armor (unlootable) and are equipped with spears (two of them), a sledgehammer, and a Ripper.
