Illuvenar

The Crystal Cradle is a vast chamber dominated by massive containment rings that encircle a pulsating core crystal. The protective runes that once glowed brightly have dimmed, and cracks spiderweb across the floor, leaking arcane energy like blood from a wound. An arcane parasite known as the Grid Wyrm is siphoning power from the crystal, growing larger with each surge of energy. Adventurers must reactivate four rune pylons scattered throughout the dungeon to restore the containment and confront the sentient parasite that recognizes one of their own, Virel.

The chamber is illuminated by the faint glow of the core crystal, casting eerie shadows on the cracked stone floor. The containment rings are adorned with intricate runes, now dull and flickering. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and the hum of unstable magic.
