Eternal Narthex is a Location in Mortal Shell. A stark entrance into a ponderous synod. A liminal space, always becoming anew, as mutable as the Revered who sits upon the Seat of Infinity. Its past forgotten, its future unknowable. It crumbles as quickly as it's rebuilt.

    • There is an item that is technically in the Eternal Narthex but only becomes visible once you reach the Dim Gate. It can be seen from 2 locations, the first being: go down the stairs 1 level from Dim Gate to Eternal Narthex, turn left towards the teleporter near the Bronze Bell then look up. A teleporter and item can be seen. It can be viewed better once you progress further through the Dim Gate, in the room with the Lever that gives you a Glimpse of Disdain. Continue to the left-hand window at the end of the room and look down (not straight down) and you can see the mentioned teleporter and item.

      Anyone know how to reach these? I have played this game for many hours and only just noticed this.
