Rites

Face the Sultan

The Sultan sits on the Gold throne, with his loyal honor guard standing by. As always, the deep shadows and brilliant light in the Lapis Lazuli Hall weave an inscrutable expression upon him. But when you truly push open the door, his throat pulsates, revealing an undeniable beast-like joy.

A Game That Delights the Sultan
You draw your weapon, loudly challenging the Sultan as you step into his hall. If you didn't, no one would dare to enter the Lapis Lazuli Hall as a rebel... The combat stretches from dawn till dusk, the setting sun casting blood-red light between you. With each step closer to the Sultan, you feel the shadows dance, flames flicker, and even the columns around you seem to spin wildly in the tension... The honor guards remain motionless, while the Sultan applauds you – his shadow expanding...

Result:

Action:

For you, he is fully armed
The Sultan stands as if matching the speed of your approach step by step. He reaches for his battle sword, beckons a guard to help him don his armor, then pauses briefly between weapons before choosing another blade – a light, serpentine scimitar.



During these preparations, your team remains still and silent, neither speaking nor charging, as if bound by some unspoken pact, simply maintaining the pilgrimage's pace, slowly arriving at the hall's center.

Result:

The Beast of Light and Shadow
"I accept your challenge, rebel," says the Sultan, leaving his long-held throne and descending the stairs toward you, step by step... With each step, his reflected light becomes more radiant. His form seems to grow even larger.

Behind you, someone loses control—you hear stumbling retreats and weapons clattering to the ground, but there's no time to scold or inspire your companions now. You need to gather all your courage and strength so you can confront him. You realize: the beast, once chained, corrupted, and tormented, has finally been unleashed by you.
