The lone chapel under the violet sky.

Description

Level 413 consists of a silent grass pasture with a perpetual dark purple sky with no sun. In the center of the pasture there sits a lone, small, white chapel. The chapel is visible from any point in the pasture, no matter how far you walk away from it. The chapel does not shrink or grow depending on how far you walk towards or away from it. Walking away from the chapel causes the horizon to curve inward, meaning that leaving the chapel’s predicted proximity is virtually impossible.

The only way to enter the chapel is to run in a straight line from the direction you first entered from. After an uncertain amount of time, the horizon will level out. Once the horizon levels out, the only safe place to go is the chapel.

The Collapse

Going in any other direction after the horizon levels out will result in a phenomenon known as The Collapse.

After approximately fifty steps, the first phase begins. Noise is suddenly heard in every direction but in front of you. If you whisper, the sound will appear to come from behind you, regardless of its actual origin.

After an additional hundred feet, the second phase commences. The grass becomes a more brown color. Once the grass becomes dark brown, starts to grow until it completely covers any sight of the chapel. Once the chapel is no longer visible, the final phase begins.

It is unknown whether one of two instances occurs: either the ground moves up, or the sky lowers. Clouds then form, presenting a thick fog. After this, the wanderer has one last chance to return to where they started. The grass lowers, revealing a large figure with no facial features, wearing a black robe and cotton-white pants. The figure emits a light the same color as the sky.

the level begins to rumble

it speaks in a low tone:

*“Where are you going?”*

The wanderer has only one choice to be sent back to the start. They must kneel, bow their head, and state:

*“My father’s home.”*

If the wanderer continues without responding, Water will be turned to blood-they are sent to Level 413.1.

The Chapel

If all steps are followed, the wanderer is premeditated to enter the chapel.
The inside is dark only emitted by a dim chandelier and a lantern. The air Is thick and all surfaces are covered with a layer of dust. The Chapel seems muted, like something once happened there and in now left to decay and rot.

The chapel is larger on the inside than the outside. There are four rows of pews on each side and a single lectern. On each pew lays four books that record every decision you have made, each accompanied by a symbol believed to judge the moral rightness of said decision.

Behind the lectern is a confessional. Wanderers must enter through the left side.

The Confessional

Once seated, you will hear a voice identifying itself as Pastor Matthew, pastor of The Last Congregational Church. Pastor Matthew knows what you have done — and what lies ahead. His voice is comforting, urging you to confess your wrongdoings.

Once you confess, you will be transported to Level 11.

+ Bases, Outposts and Communities

Level 413 contains two major factions that inhabit or claim the chapel as sacred ground. Both originated from the same congregation, but their beliefs have diverged beyond reconciliation.

The Order Of The Crimson Veil

The Order Of The Crimson Veil:

The Order Of The Crimson Veil is a sect that formed after an event that split the First Congregational Church into two separate groups.
The Order believes that sacrifice is the only path to salvation.
They wear deep crimson robes and hold ceremonies involving blood "a symbol of divine language."

Their sermons often begin with the phrase:

“To bleed is to speak with God.”

Members of the Veil see Pastor Matthew as a bridge to salvation. They also see him as a prophet who transcended humanity through his Sacrifice.
They are often found near the altar, performing rituals that involve the Chalice of Blood, believing each ritual brings them closer to divine truth.

Foundational Belifes:
- Blood is the language of creation.
- The backrooms are not a prison, but a holy plane of reflection.
- Pain cleanses the soul,death renews the body.
- Pastor Matthew’s wounds are sacred and is a ultimate sacrifice .

The Sanctum Of The Chalice

The Sanctum Of The Chalice:

The Sanctum Of The Chalice was formed from those who rejected the sacrificial doctrine of the Veil.
They believe that salvation is found through breaking ignorance, not through blood.
While they still worship the same divine figure, they see his light as a source of knowledge, not punishment.

Their robes are pale, marked with faint gold symbols of the chalice — representing wisdom poured from truth.
The Sanctum often gathers at the chapel’s front pews, meditating in silence, seeking revelations through reflection rather than ritual.

Core Beliefs:
- Light is the essence of understanding.
- Blood binds, but knowledge and defiance frees ones self.
- The Pontiff’s reflection shows our own ignorance.
- Confession is not repentance — it is awareness.
- The truth beneath the veil must be revealed, not feared.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

There is no known way to get to this level for now.

Exits

Confessing your wrongdoings to Pastor Matthew will transport you to Level 11.

If you go against it you will be forcibly sent to 413.1
