Open source p.19A FLAME THAT BURNS ETERNALLY • PATHS TO LOCATIONS 3, 5 & 6
At the foot of an unscalable plateau stands a temple. Numerous PILGRIMS flock here to celebrate the last ETERNAL FLAME in Night Land. They pray to a statue of the SUN SLAYER within the temple. Once a day, the sojourners enact a RITUAL where they construct an effigy of the Sun Slayer from stitched body parts of the dead. They SACRIFICE the effigy in the eternal flame which burns outside the temple.
