Description
This image features the nave and sanctuary of Level -911. This image was taken by wanderer B.B.
Level -911 is the inside of a Catholic Church. Explorers will begin their journey in the nave or the main room of this church. The nave in Level -911 consists of 23 rows of pews. Each row of pews has a 'kneeler' so congregants may kneel during Mass. Mass in Level -911 is held at noon every seven days, presumably Sunday. The walls of Level -911 features 14 pictures called the Stations of The Void. Instead of these pictures featuring illustrations of Christ's crucifixion, they will feature the crucifixion of one of the following god-like entities: The Glitched Goddess, Mortis Abelson, Zalgo or Matea Lunea for reasons unknown. The sanctuary, which is the front of the church, consists of an altar (center), organ and pulpit (left), and lectern and confessional (right but not visible in the image provided). The altar in Level -911 is constructed from an unknown species of oak tree. The altar is covered with an altar cloth consisting of Egyptian cotton and lit candles during Mass. The temperate inside Level -911 is ambient. The light/dark cycle is 12:12. This level is 'safe' as long as you do not do the following:
- Settle in this church for more than 3 days.
- Aggravate the 'nuns'.
- Use the confession booths (if you are a sinner or posing as the priest to listen in on confessions).
Notable Entities
This image of Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi was taken by M.E.G. Junior Entities Investigators Melissa M. Heart. He requested that his image be taken below where his nose would be to avoid scaring reviewers of this documents.
Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi
Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi is a false faceling with partial facial features. The only facial features he has is a mouth, while all other facial features are absent. He cannot speak, but he knows American Sign Language (ASL), can write messages to explorers and mouth words. He is the only priest present in Level -911.
This image features micro-expressions of common emotional states. This image was presented by M.E.G. Entities Investigators Henry K. Kilmore.
He appears as an adult between the ages of 30 - 35 years. He takes the form of a Caucasian male in a Catholic priest uniform. He has short blond hair and is clean-shaven. Again, the only facial feature he has is a mouth, so he uses his mouth to express his emotional state. (See the image for 'micro-expressions of common emotional states' provided.) He is usually friendly unless you are an unrepented sinner or upset his 'nuns'. Explorers can find him scrolling around the nave and sanctuary, coming in and out of the confession booths, interacting with his 'nuns' and/or other explorers, giving sermons via ASL and banishing someone from the church. It is not known what happens to people who get banished from the church. It is assumed you are lost to the 'environment' outside the church. What the environment looks like outside this church is unknown.

Answer
'Nuns'
The 'Nuns' (a.k.a. Sisters of (No) Mercy) are seven female Malveillant from Level -222 who sought refuge in Level -911 together. How they managed to get to Level -911 is anyone's guess and they will not say. Three of them claim they do not remember. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi recounts they appeared in Level -911 one day looking for a safe place anyway from their male counterparts. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi admitted they all were ruined sinners but pitied them. He would have banished them otherwise but gave them an opportunity to confess their sins, repent and redeem themselves. Father Vivaldi wrote:
After these seven female Malveillant repented, Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi extended the offer for them to become his nuns. They gladly accepted. They all vowed to dedicate their life to 'religious' service, poverty, chastity and obedience in the enclosure of Level -911. They also asked to be renamed to celebrate their rebirth. They are introduced below:
Delaney (Meaning: Dark challenger) was formerly a Native Reaper from Level -777. Her sin was doing unspeakable things to corpses. She is between the age of 30 to 35. She is 349.4in (~8.87m). She can be callous at times but is learning to be more endearing. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appointed her head of the other six. He trusts that she will kill any sinners that refuse to leave Level -911. He knows to not leave her alone with any corpses.
Britta (Meaning: Strong) was formerly a Native Huntress from Level -777. Her sin was killing other Natives and explorers for sport. She is between the age of 30 to 35 but is younger than Delaney. She is 347.8in (~8.83m). She can be aggressive at times but is learning to be meek. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates her forward personality and has her preach sermons during Mass. He knows not to leave her alone with anyone but her sisters.
Yanet (Meaning: Merciful) was formerly a Native Cooker and Baker from Level -777. Her sin was killing, cooking and eating both Native and Human children. She is between the age of 25 to 30 but is younger than Britta. She is 345.0in (~8.76m). She can be ill-tempered at times but is learning to be more amiable. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates her baking and cooking skills and has her prep meals for explorers. He knows to not leave her alone near any children. He also checks the food and does a head count.
Twins Mireya (Meaning: Miracle) and Makena (Meaning: Happy One) was formerly Native winemakers from Level -777. Their sin was killing explorers and using their blood to make some of their wine. They are between the age of 25 to 30 but are younger than Yanet. Mireya is 344.7in (~8.76m) and Makena is 344.6in (~8.75m). They can be manipulative at times but are learning to be more ingenious. Father Ignatius B. Vivialdi appreciate their winemaking skills and allows them to lead communion. He knows to check and taste the wine.
Aasta (Meaning: Love) was formerly a Native angler from Level -777. Her sin was leading explorers to bodies of almond water to drown them. She also used some of her victims as bait. Rumors are suggesting she is Dearil's lover. Other Natives claimed that they saw her and Dearil frolicking in the Voidic Woods together, often chasing down victims or dragging a body. When Dearil turned himself in, he did not mention her, but most assumed that was to protect her. She wears this strange seashell necklace many insist belonged to him. She will admit that a lover gave her the necklace in questioning, but she will not say who. M.E.G. operatives suspect the rumors are true and she is looking for him, but she has not attempted to leave Level -911.
Aasta giggles: Make a confession and maybe you will get lucky.
No one knows what she means by that. Any attempts M.E.G. operatives have made toward getting her to say more resulted in her becoming dismissive. Any attempts M.E.G. operatives have made toward executing her resulted in Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi banishing those operatives outside of the church. Father Vivaldi wrote:
When Dearil was asked about this, he only smiled. Nevertheless, she is between the age of 20 to 25 but is younger than twins, Mireya and Makena. She is 342.2in (~8.69m). She can be sadistic at times but is learning to be sweet. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates when she brings fish to Yanet to cook and allows her to perform the baptisms. He knows to not let her perform any baptisms unsupervised.
Imogen (Meaning: innocent) was formerly a seamstress and candle maker from Level -777. Her sins was killing explorers for their fat and using it to make candles. She would silence her victims by sewing their mouths shut while they struggled. She is between the age of 20 to 25 but younger than Aasta. She is 339.1 in (~8.61m). Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates when she meddles the clothing of explorers and offers them candles. She is as quiet as a mice. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi gets concern when she is too quiet. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi keeps her by his side to make sure she is not up to any mischief.
The Confessional
The Confessional is located on the right side of the sanctuary. In Level -911, this cabinet is used by Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi and his nuns to hear confessions of penitents. Some of the confessions can be unconventional and silly because they are being provided by small children. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi assumes that some of the little ones that come through here just need someone to talk for the moment, so their unorthodox confessions are welcomed. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi strongly discourages explorers from listening in on confessions. Some explorers have been killed because they overhead sometime they were not suppose to hear. Examples of anonymous confessions was requested by M.E.G. Entities Investigators Henry K. Kilmore and provided below:

Entrances and Exits
Entrances
- Explorers can be transported to the confessional of Level -911 from any level at random and by unknown means.
- Finding a holy book in Level 11 has a 70% of chance sending you to Level -911.
- Traversing the water of Level 7 has a 30% of chance of sending you to Level -911. Nearly drowning in Level 7 has a 50% chance of sending you to Level -911. In both cases, you will come up with the Baptismal pool/font.
- Enter a church in a village in Level -35.
Exits
- Refusing to Level -911 after getting banished will result in Delaney killing you.
- Getting banished for the church results in you getting lost to the environment outside. The Nuns whisper and speculate that you will either end up falling forever in The Void or get crushed in The Full.
- Exiting the church through the main door will lead to Level -22 or Level -35.
- Going through the basement of the church may lead to Level -266, but if it is flooded, it will lead to Level -2.
- Noclipping through a painting in the church will lead to Level 57.
- Ask Yanet for an exit. She will send you to Level 3511. I hope you like it there!!
