The Sculpture Garden

The space centers on the towering, grotesque sculpture of the Doctor—a distorted effigy carved with exaggerated features and rough proportions. The stone figure looms over the area, its enormous mouth and throat serving as the literal threshold the characters must pass through. Moss clings to the base, and the air carries the damp scent of ancient stone, thick with the weight of forgotten rituals. The sculpture’s hollow throat opens into a narrow cavernous passage, the only visible path beyond the tribe’s deceptive symbols. Harsh torchlight from the surrounding chamber carves sharp shadows across the uneven surface, making the carving’s flaws more noticeable—and its purpose undeniable.
