Filtering through crystalline stars circling the apex of the midnight-blue dome, beams silvered like moonlight edge a graceful obsidian altar at the end of the platform. Countless bas-relief nightingales swirl up its sides, wings flared and heads flung back in eternal nightsong. Encircling its base is a ring of shrike skulls, each polished to the warm glow of old ivory and gleaming with opulent rows of tiny jet and lapis beads.
