Rites Altar This altar is crowded, but among all the pilgrims, a group of warriors catches your attention as they use a sacred candle to ritually burn their bodies, seeking the blessing of the Great Bird's strength. The altar features a golden statue of the Great Bird, surrounded by numerous offerings and gifts from the pilgrims. A young snake, nestled among the gifts, watches everyone in the chamber with curious eyes, though by it's expression, you'd guess it's bored. The guards observe the rites with interest. Will you do something in this place?
