The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: Grey, polished marble is stretching out to the horizon like some vast, still ocean. The air's heavy with incense, and the sky above is a deep, burning crimson, as if the sun's somehow been paused at the peak of its ascent. Umm, to the north, an endless staircase of black stone spirals upward, its steps shifting and reforming in impossible ways, as if it's being woven from some liquid, molten rock. The air is still, with a sense of expectation, like the entire scene is waiting for some catalyst to set it in motion.
