I didn't even try to get nuanced with the cathedral idea cause of where the Blood Dome actually is. But even with the missing context this advice still works as a means to enrich the setting, I like the hourglass idea specifically.
Also julius just calls it the blood dome, it has no say it it's purpose or nature.
And for sure I need a drive for Julius, i've had it planned for awhile but I kinda forced myself to drag out the introduction a bit and it's taking awhile for him to get to the point I need to get him to. But his lack of drive is actually intentional and I wish I was better at conveying his aimlessness but for now it's coming out as whimsical/childish rather then directionless, but he is motivated by his own whims which is why he keeps exploring and choosing his own approach to most every scenario rather then what's default/assumed/expected.
Granted he still does lack a goal, is just reacting to the world and people around him and he has yet to be even given something consistent to react to. I am putting him through the detour route for sure, maybe for no reason, i'll have to keep a very close eye on that.
As always thanks for the input! heres to hoping julius doesn't go through too many re-writes :') He should start moving in 1-3 chapters tho.
