Silence reigns in the Church of Prosperity, heavy with the bowed heads of hundreds. At the altar, Pierce Neircon stands genial in black, flanked by assistants holding a hot iron, a goblet, and a gemmed necklace. He approaches you, laid out in white drapery. Pierce cups you's face, commanding, 'Open.' As you wakes from a tormented slumber, Pierce clasps the heavy necklace around their neck, chanting of purity and greed. He heats the iron in the hearth, unveiling you's stomach. With assistants restraining you, Pierce sears the brand of gluttony into their flesh. Screams tear the silence as he chants of divine union, collecting the bleeding blood into a carved goblet, ecstatic with the ritual's completion.
