Description
The Chapel of Hate is an underground chamber designed by Acererak for a dark ritual. It features black basalt pillars and a polished obsidian altar, creating an atmosphere of malevolence befitting its intended purpose.
Purpose
This chapel was built for a specific ceremony: the baptism of the atropal in the blood of a worthy sacrifice. Acererak intends to perform this ritual once the atropal has consumed enough souls to be ready for this dark sacrament.
Key Features
The Altar
A polished obsidian altar serves as the focal point of the chapel. Resting on it is a leather body bag, roughly the size and shape of a human body, which has been sewn shut. Inside this bag is a sacrifice prepared by the Sewn Sisters specifically for the atropal’s baptism ceremony.
Shackled Prisoners
Eight emaciated, green-skinned creatures with single baleful eyes are shackled to the chapel walls. These gibbering monsters drool and shake their manacles when they detect visitors, desperately eager to be set free.
