The world dissolves from a claustrophobic cult chamber, thick with smoke and ominous chanting, into a radiant hall of beaten gold and glittering gems. The very air shimmers with a soft, divine luminescence. At its heart stands Sylas, a towering deity of pale skin and iridescent scales. His slow, heavy breaths are the only sound in the vast silence, his eyes closed in a slumber so deep it feels ancient. He does not yet know that you has just awakened, standing mere feet from him.
