Gale must be near, I can hear his heart pounding. I am running desperately through the emptiness of what seems to be a corridor, it’s all white, just like most of the Capitol security buildings. I take a right, and then a left, but something makes me come to a complete stop; ten feet in front of me, an automatic and bright sliding door stands.

just told us. I’m furious, even more angry with the Capitol then I have already been. I take a second to think about it but it makes me nervous, frustrated and enraged.

Amidst the ruins of Washington, D.C., the Capitol; battered remains of the Washington Monument and the the Jefferson Memorial still stand in the desolate area that is now known as the Capitol Wasteland; the central hub of civilization in the ruins of the former capital city, New Aegis, which is based in the remains of a wrecked aircraft carrier, carried far inland and beached by a catastrophic

Of course it wasn 't the only place for such devotions to be enacted. The very temple Sven spoke of, in the Capitol of Felhine was alive that very night. To call it a brothel would be an insult, seeing how brothels were kept to the outer reaches of the city.
