Ceremonial Sacrifice Chains

The chains comprise thick iron links, their surface darkened with ritual patina and the accumulated grime of repeated use. They suspend Idmon’s limbs from the citadel’s ceiling beams, their weight barely straining the ancient masonry. The metal’s cold bite against his wrists and ankles holds him upright—vulnerable yet grotesquely theatrical—as the Lamp of Life’s flame rises toward the sword.

After: Still taut, holding Idmon in place as the flame rises and the sword awaits.
