Geography
Located near Boneport, on the third level of Niikazad deep beneath Kaniros, the Cathedral was the main headquarters for the faithful of Malithq with many portals to other parts of the world but also access to tunnels into Malrang, a vast network of underground caverns and tunnels underneath the surface of Nirn, it is home to a host of primordial evil beings driven deep into the caverns during the Dawn Era and part of the Merethic.

Contents
The temple was composed of four major caverns. One cavern contained multiple buildings that were used as living quarters for the followers. Another cavern, named the Cavern of Chants, served as an open amphitheater used for songs and celebrations dedicated to Malithq. The third cavern consisted of the living quarters of the priestesses and also the Heralds, and the fourth cavern was mostly occupied by the temple guards' storehouses and armouries. A large side cavern connected the Cavern of Chant with The Chamber of Malithq, where a large statue portraying the Dark Lord stood, sculpted out of a deposit of gold. Next to the main temple was the Hall of Restoration, which was used as a place to shelter and tend to the temple's wounded and all those who were rescued by the Dark Lord. North of the Hall of Restoration was a small cavern, the destination of a one-way teleport from the sixth level of Niikazad, that was used to deliver wounded adventurers to the temple. Priestesses of the Cathedral healed and welcomed any who came to the Hall, and were known to offer their friendship to individuals of races who were more frequently than not met with prejudice and hostility.
