Caraint Cathedral

Caraint Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul and Saint Reginius in the City of Caraint, is a large church located in the city of Caraint, in the north-east of Alain Kingdom.

Caraint was originally the ecclesiastical capital of the Kingdom, and was the original home of the tomb of Saint Reginius for over three hundred years, before much of the Cathedral was completely destroyed in an earthquake in 1041, save the crypt.

Caraint Cathedral is noted for being the first major Cathedral built in the Kingdom, with most of the building being finished by 1150.

The Cathedral also serves as the Regimental Chapel of the Royal Navy, which is headquartered in this City, and also has chapels dedicated to the Armed forces and the Royal Legion.

Architecture
Most of the framework for the current structure dates from between 1056 and 1150, with the Chancel, the towers and the fléche over the central crossing all dating from this time. In 1376, the Bishop of Caraint ordered a full renovation of the Cathedral, which installed much of the Gothic detailing, and introduced stone ceilings to a region where many buildings used wood.
