The Temple stands empty at the begining of the solstice. The announcement had made mention of a funeral attire, which the temple itself seemed to emphasize. The floors were bereft of everything, stark stone with patches of dust. In the center of the temple are three objects:
The first is a silver platter with the remnants of blood and dust.
The second is a large basin, holding a sword, a glove, a bow, and a ring. Each has a covering of dust.
The final is a metal bowl, filled with the remains of fruit.
Kneeling in front of the triple offerings is David. He wears a brown robe that is torn, with ashes in his hair. He kneels before the offerings, his forehead pressed low to the ground. Tonight is not a night for posturing and for talking with guests. Tonight is a night for Her, and to delay in any way on this night of nights, is to invite certain death.
