Sanctum Buttresses

The concealed stone buttresses lining the hidden passage behind the Sanctum’s rear exit provide structural support while doubling as advantageous vantage points for evasion. Their rough-hewn surfaces, worn smooth over centuries of disuse, bristle with the weight of unseen threats—cracks spiderweb through the ancient masonry where Kassia’s grove corruption seeps in. Tremas presses the Doctor close amid their shadow, trading raw visibility for the narrow safety of the corridor’s sloping descent.

Before: Static architectural features serving as mundane support structures in the Sanctum

After: Active hiding spots for the Doctor and Tremas, their cover dissolving once Kassia passes
