Shadows writhe across the damp, curved walls of the circular chamber, held at bay only by the fitful dance of torchlight. From the vaulted ceiling, heavy chains descend like petrified serpents. You hang from them, your weight suspended by manacles of cold iron. Beneath your feet, an elaborate magic circle etches the stone floor with a faint, persistent glow. The very air is thick, saturated with the ancient, oppressive power of this place and the acrid tang of sulfur—the unmistakable signature of a dark ritual's cradle.
