Entrance to Xoanon's Core Chamber

A jagged, electrified aperture framed by flickering crimson light, the doorway pulses with intermittent energy discharges that crawl along its edges like nervous energy. The air carries the acrid tang of ozone and something older—a sterile, metallic stench hinting at machinery long devoid of human touch. Surfaces within its frame hum with barely contained malice, panels flickering in erratic patterns as if each pulse from Xoanon’s consciousness propagates through the structure. The corridor beyond offers only fleeting glimpses of its true nature, shifting dimensions suggesting the doorway itself is a metaphysical threshold rather than mere architecture. Characters approaching feel the current in their bones before the door’s electromagnetic grip becomes undeniable.
