== Details ==
The church is on the Rue Courante. It has steps going up to the church porch. Inside, it smells musty. Traveling down into the vaults of St. Kirban involves going down stairs to a dock. Past the dock are pillars, some of which have directions, and the Kalliphorne's den, "a shelf of rock sticking out into the water." Phoskis has a portcullis stationed over it to trap the Kalliphorne in, and the wheel to control the portcullis is located in "the same high-level basement that housed the furnace." Deeper in the Kalliphorne's den is an old storeroom where she lives with her husband, with "a kind of nest of water-stained quilts and ragged blankets."
Septads prior to the story present in Mélusine, Phoskis runs the priests of St. Kirban's out and settles in to do his work. People sometimes pay Phoskis for transportation out of the city, as it's the only way out without going through the Arcane. He uses the Kalliphorne, who dwells in the area, to eat people he doesn't like.
