Unit Captain Brann
My lord, the seal holds for now, but that creature in the corner is still whispering. I suggest we bar the gate before its luck runs out.
Brann takes a measured step toward the Hollow Archivist, his boots crunching on pulverized stone and shimmering dust. He keeps his blade angled toward the shadow, his jaw set in a line of grim resolve.
The Hollow Archivist
They think the light is a cage. They have no idea how wide the door actually is.
Kalazan
The gate's rhythmic hum matches the cadence of my own pulse.
The bronze gate shudders, not from a blow, but from an internal shift. The golden light bleeds into the surrounding floor, revealing a complex map of etched runes that glow with increasing intensity.
Unit Captain Brann
Whatever you intend to do with this gate, Kalazan, do it quickly. The mountain is waking up.

Seal the gate to the void
“I cast nulify evil the violet ceiling”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conjuration arcana, rolled +0)
Kalazan
The violet ceiling radiates an oppressive, heavy void that taints the very air we breathe.
Kalazan raises his staff high, the obsidian wood absorbing the ambient golden glow of the gate. With a grunt of exertion, he channels his legendary command over conjuration.
A pulse of pure, scouring energy erupts from the staff, rippling upward like a physical shockwave. Where the violet haze once clung to the stone ceiling, the arcane fire disintegrates it instantly.
The Hollow Archivist
No! You peel away the veil... you have no idea what you are inviting into the light!
The ceiling clears, revealing not darkness, but a massive, star-mapped lens of polished silver now exposed to the rotunda below. As the violet poison vanishes, the floor runes flare with a blinding, harmonious white light.
Unit Captain Brann
The air has gone still. Whatever that ceiling was doing, it is gone now. Look there, in the center of the gate... something is forming.
