Level 432

==Description==
Level 432, known as "The Abandoned Altar," takes the form of a decaying church building of Italian Renaissance architecture, with ornate halls, tall ceilings, and an apparently endless array of rooms, borderline infested with entities. Every manifestation of this level has the Italian Renaissance architecture, but it is adorned with symbols that match the Wanderers religion or spiritual beliefs.
The church is in a state of decay and despair, the Italian Renaissance architecture crumbling and losing its unique character. The ornate halls, impossibly tall ceilings, and numerous rooms create a labyrinthine maze within the level. The exact size of the level remains unknown, as no boundaries have been discovered.There are no artificial light sources; all lighting is natural despite the lack of celestial bodies. The temperature fluctuates between fifty and eighty degrees Fahrenheit, correlating with the level of natural light. Darker rooms tend to be colder and lighter rooms tend to be warmer. Wanderers are unable to meet with other Wanderers within the level. The reason for this is unknown, but it is theorized to be related to the nature of the Sanctuary. 
The floors, walls, and ceilings of the level are in a state of crumbling decay. The potential danger of falling through the floor to a different floor has been noted several times. The decay of this level is characterized by a lack of color rather than typical signs of rot or deterioration. This can be hard to spot on a moment's notice, so caution is advised even if one cannot see the signs of decay. It is also recommended to take in your immediate surrounding to attempt to see what this decay looks like. 
The final destination of the level is the Sanctuary, where the namesake Altar is located, which is completely empty aside from The Teacher, religious icons, and statues. Reported icons and statues have ranged from the Star of David to the Sigil of Baphomet. Entities seem to increase in number as a Wanderer approaches the altar, with the entities displaying a protective behavior. The reason for this behavior is unknown. Once inside the altar, entities cannot enter the altar, as for what causes this remains unidentified to this day. There is a good luck tradition where reciting a favorite verse from one's religious or spiritual teachings is said to bring good luck.
==Colonies and Outposts==
Due to the ever present decay and threat of entities, no outpost has been attempted to be established within the level.
==Entities==
*Skin-Stealers - Can be found across the level, commonly attempting to trick the Wanderer into believing that they are church-goers who are in need of help.
*Deathmoths - They can be found in lighter areas of the level, waiting for Wanderers to walk under them
*Hounds - They can be found roaming the halls of the level, with the majority of them being found on the second floor.
*The Teacher - The Teacher is an adult faceling, dressed in the traditional garments of the Wanderers religious teachers, such as a pastor or rabbi. The Teacher can only be found inside the Altar room. Upon interacting with The Teacher, the Wanderer will be offered a brand new book of their religious teaching, such as a Bible or a Quran. If this offering is refused, The Teacher becomes hostile and will attack the Wanderer, at which all point all other entities will begin to flood the Sanctuary. 
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances===
*Touching an item of religious importance in the Backrooms has a chance to no-clip a Wanderer into this level. However, this will only happen once to each Wanderer.
*Entering a church building on any level has the chance to send a Wanderer to this level.
*It is important to note that only Wanderer with religious or spiritual beliefs can enter this level.
===Exits===
*The only exit is by entering the trapdoor located behind the altar. This will no-clip the Wanderer to the level they were previously at, unless it was a level of Class 5 difficulty or higher, in which case they will be sent to Level 774.
