Jungle Ritual Torches

A cluster of thick, resin-dripping torches carried by the masked ritual figures, their flames casting erratic orange light on the jungle clearing's stone altar. The torch handles are dark wood, bound with rough fiber cord, their flames struggling against the humid night air as smoke curls upward in thick tendrils. The group moves with purpose, thrusting the torches forward to illuminate the kneeling victim and the shadowed pit before the horn-bearer signals the execution.
