The Cathedral of Stars is a large manse entrusted to the Immaculate Order, located in the Scarlet Prefecture between the Imperial City and Yolin Am. It is an ancient structure, a massive dome of lapis lazuli edged with bronze atop a base of smooth silvery iron edged in gold. It is known amongst geomancers for the amazing quality of the stellar observatory located within, and it thus serves as a temple for the greatest astrologers of the Order, as well as the local residence of the Mouth of Peace when she visits the Scarlet Prefecture.

From without, the lapis of the Cathedral dome appears dark and opaque, but once inside it reveals itself to be perfectly clear, a fantastic lens which dims the light of the sun and lets the patterns of the stars shine through even in daylight. The Cathedral is closed to all but monks of the Order, for it is not a place of worship but an observatory and training school for Immaculate astrologers, both mortal and Exalted. Its nestor, Wise Wind, is known to be a Most Enlightened and Illustrious Master, one of the rare monks at the highest levels of mastery within the Order.
