Sarzain
Abadar's wing of the Cathedral faces the city's heart, as is appropriate, and the back wall is graced by a massive statue. At least 25 feet tall, a figure in golden full-plate armor - or possibly a golem - wields a giant hammer and stands vigil over the altar. The Master of the First Vault stands in front of his servant, flowing robes and flowing hair both masterfully carved. Atop the altar rests the Order of Numbers, an ornate keyring, and a judge's gavel. Sarzain doesn't get much more chance to look around before noticing he's gained company. One of the acolytes, the sandy-haired boy that helped recruit people for the tour, has also broken away from the pack. He doesn't notice Sarzain as he enters and turns immediately to a glass case containing another book, presumably the Manual of City-Building. The boy uses the mirrored back panel of the case to practice his part of the tour guide's speech, talking about Abadar and his history and practices. He does mention the Lawgiver, a giant construct that serves as a champion of the Judge of the Gods, so that's almost certainly what the statue is supposed to be.
Auria
Sarenrae's wing is the only one with the outer and inner chambers divided by a full door, rather than just an arch or small stair. The reason quickly becomes obvious - the worship area is outside, with only awnings and overhangs for cover from the elements. The altar here is open to the sky, no awning for it, and contains a glowing rock, a scimitar, and a glass case that holds a book, presumably The Birth of Light and Truth. Behind the altar stand a pair of humanoid statues, one male and one female. The female statue is bronzed and holds a scimitar decorated with a fire motif. Her other hand is open, turned palm-up as though meant to hold an object. The male statue has his arms extended and the stone forms of several doves are gathered there. A few real doves have also alighted on the statue, much to Auria's amusement. These can only be Holy Sunlord Thalachos and the Dawnflower herself. As Auria approaches the statues, the doves all take flight as though startled, and something thumps the ground behind her. Spinning, Auria finds the rock from the altar has fallen off, and it rolls toward the statue of Sarenrae.
