History
St. Matthew's is named after and follows the gospel of the evangelical saint Matthew, one of Jesus' twelve apostles and traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. His symbols are the tax collector and the alms box. Matthew himself was originally a tax collector, and as such is the patron saint of accountants, taxmen, and the city of Salerno.
Although it is commonly said that there are five cathedrals in Malton, this is something of an oversimplification. A cathedral is technically the seat of a bishop and as such there are only two true cathedrals in Malton: one of them, St. Matthew’s in Gibsonton, serves the Anglican communion while another serves the Catholic communion.

Barricading
- Major holy site for the Imperium of Man and is the headquarters of the Imperium, now the seat of the Cardinal of Malton, head of the Ecclesiarchy. The Imperium follows the The Gibsonton Defense Diagram, however, new game mechanics for moving in large buildings mean that, for security's sake, all four quadrants of the Cathedral are Extremely Heavily Barricaded whenever possible. Those with Free Running have several access points through neighbouring buildings.
