Temple of the Elders
Description
Enviromental Log
A vast hole of clouds swirls along the lip of this massive floating ridge. Towers and churches are constructed with windows and archways all standing with reverence toward the center of the miles-wide gap. A sort of vortex sucks the air downward and I can see flocks of birds dancing in the wind, like some sort of ritual. The sun touches these stones like nowhere else and a massive spire echoes into the sky, piercing the clouds only to be swallowed again before reaching the atmosphere. It has to have been a thousand steps climbed by now, with the corpses piling up in the nave below. Thunder roars down this spiral, with red lightning flashing shadows of future combatants against the walls. From this height I can finally see it: The Contact Light.
