I came up with a cool concept for one of the main temples of Khorne. Rate it.
Temple of the Silent. Temple of the Singing Blades.
A unique place. There are no statues, icons, preachers. You can't even hear human speech in this temple.
The Silent Ones pray to their God with the clash of weapons, and it is through it that they summon Khorne to look upon themselves. Voice, language - which people use appeared recently by universal standards, the sound of blades appeared in this world with the very first civilization, with the very first people who pushed stone against stone, stick against stick.
They enter the Temple completely naked, with their mouth sewn in front of it, holding a weapon in their hand.
In front of him, the one who enters sees a not too large round room (the Temple does not seek to suppress anyone with its grandeur), hundreds of niches rising to the ceiling with weapons fixed there are carved from the walls. There is a light haze in the air that anesthetizes and inspires rage. The entire round hall is divided into three circles with a dot in the middle. Guards stand in each circle, each with their own unique heavily armored weapon. In the first circle there are 6 of them, in the second 4, in the third 2, at point 1.
After entering, the gates are closed, people disperse to the designated places and the massacre begins, when a certain number of people remain, the guards of the circle hit the floor with weapons and people are obliged to move to the next circle. They are given time to occupy new places, and at that moment they launch a new group of people. So there is only 1 person left who can leave the temple and remove the stitches.
Cowards and deserters are sent there to atone for sins. But everyone knows that they are just a lubricant for the blades of neophytes. When you are left alone, you can challenge the guard, when you defeat him you get the title of Acolyte, then go back 1 circle, defeat 2 guards and you are a Knight, then Master and Master. You can stop at any of the circles, but you still have to defeat 13 guardians. After that, you can cut off the key from the neck of each, find 13 holes on the central point, place the keys and then.......[FILE REDACTED]
After leaving the temple, there is a ringing of clicks in my head, a howl of cut air, the sound of cut flesh, but not a voice.
