The wooden altar

Open on wiki ↗
event  Altar (Faeborg) ·  Events (all zones)
On an island you find a wooden altar that seems to be a replica of other similar altars. You do not know who has built it, but the altar is not very powerful and does not seem to be fully functional. After inspecting it a little more, you see that next to it there is a small platform with a pyre underneath, which you imagine is used to make sacrifices to empower the altar. Do you want to try to empower the altar?
