Star Knight Lore: The Chamber of the Twelve

I jotted this down some years ago.

In the City of God there is a chamber. There are no known doors to it. There are no known windows looking into it. All that is known is that there is a table with twelve seats and before that table is a throne. Around the room are twelve statues. Three of them are of the Archangels. Nine are of great warrior-martyrs of ages past. This is the Chamber of the Star Knights of the Vatican Solar Guard, and here they meet when it is required of them.

The idea was one part Round Table, one part Hall of Justice, one part Traditional Super Robot HQ, and one part Gray Lensman Club HQ. I imagined its use as a council chamber to be something like the mission briefing seen in Thunderball (and its SPECTRE counterpart isn't too shabby either). This concept is in the books now, but it's not given much attention because so far there is no need to do so.

Bonus!

Good Friday being what it is, it's time for a trip into the underworld, and here's your portal.

And that will be a good thing to keep in mind when Brian Niemeier releases Don't Give Money To People Who Hate You later this year.
