Ritual Platform

Ritual Dais

A raised circular platform occupies the center of the dimly lit shrine, its obsidian surface worn smooth by generations of kneeling Sisters. Flanking the dais, bronze braziers cast long shadows and send coils of incense toward the domed ceiling. The air thickens with the smell of burning oil and damp stone. Maren and the Sisters kneel on the cold stone, their ritual robes pooling around them as they press palms to the surface, channeling sacred energy through Maren’s ring. The space hums with barely contained power, the dais functioning as a focal point for their forbidden scrying. Starlight filters through high, narrow windows, crossing the platform like blades of celestial attention.
