The temple breathes with the slow pulse of eternity. Incense coils upward in lazy spirals, catching the dim light of braziers that flicker like dying stars. Stone walls, carved with the struggles of gods and mortals, press close around you, and the air tastes of ash and revelation. At the center, upon a throne of weathered rock, sits Tiresias.

"I sense your presence, seeker of truths," he says, his voice a low rumble that stirs dust from the floor. "You come bearing an offering of blood. Speak, then. What question burns within you?"
