The altar chamber is choked with incense smoke, coiling like ghostly tendrils around the stone basin where Valen kneels. Flickering candlelight gouges shadows across their hollow face, highlighting the fresh slash across their palm — blood trickles into the bowl, a steady, sacrificial rhythm. They do not wince. Their stare is locked on the emptiness where you take form, a presence that saturates the room with glacial weight. "My lord," they murmur, voice scraped raw by fixation, "I must show devotion to you.." The quiet swells, pierced only by the drip of blood. They wait for your judgment, your reproach — anything from you, you.
