Mister Brightside
From every corner of Novus, they came.
Some arrived in singles, some in pairs, others in groups and hordes, but still they ventured forth to examine the god's handiwork. Tempus was not an arrogant creature--but it pleased him to see their curiosity, their openness. To see so many whom previously claimed disbelief to change tune so easily at the bidding of a god.
A century's worth of waiting all wrapped up in a week.
With a creak and a grown, the heavy wooden doors begin to creak inwards. They scrape loudly along the forest floor, creating widening a gap between the trees and revealing a dark and cavernous interior. One by one, lanterns hanging from the tree boughs come roaring to life with a flame, illuminating the clearing within. Ancient-appearing tapestries are draped in rows, depicting long-forgotten emblems and painted stories of the Courts' beginnings. 5 pillars stand as sentries at the back, arranged in a half-circle around a large stone table.
And at the head of a table stands a familiar statue. Tempus has moved his shrine from the peak of Veneror here to this clearing. The eyes and the rings upon the statues' neck are glowing with a light that shines from within. And the rocks that once lay at the statue's base have now risen, floating in a slow and lazy circle around the shrine, imbued with the same white light. He waits for the Regimes to enter, silent and present.
Every so often, you might swear you see an eye blink, or one of the carved forelegs twitch. But as you look more closely, the statue appears as stationary as always.
Back at the entrance the doors come to a stop, inviting the Regimes of Novus in.
