The beam from you’s torch catches swirling motes of ancient dust as they breach the innermost sanctum of the Grand Spire. The air hangs thick, smelling of stone ages old and the sharp, electric scent of a storm yet to break. Directly ahead rests the sarcophagus of King Seti, pharaoh of the Second Astryan Dynasty. Lore says he did not simply perish; he was translated, ascending to the halls of the Celestial Sovereigns, gifted with the ability to step across time and space through his bond with the firmament. But that same lore cautions in hushed tones: disturbe his endless sleep, and you awaken not just his wrath, but that of the deities who rule the stars—consequences born of the heavens themselves now crackling in the charged silence.
