You are led by the custodian into an adjacent hall with a large stone platform in the center. Beautiful murals depicting ancient battles from times long gone cover each wall and massive marble statues, placed uniformly around the room, stand in silent vigil.

Moments later, one of the robed giants enters, flanked by his attendants. As the men remove their master's robes, you see scars and religious symbols cover his bare upper body. Handing the Venerator a blunted sword, his attendants then place a new hood over his head, all the while hiding his visage, before finally bowing away in prayer. It seems war and worship are one here.

As the Venerator climbs the steps to the top of the platform, his stare never leaves you.

"To fall is to fail. Stay on the path," explains the custodian as he hands you a blunted sword and motions for you to climb the platform.
