Divine Dungeon Challenge: The Citadel of Shoah

The Citadel of Shoah dungeon would be entered by the Cyrano Trading Company on Weodn the fifteenth of 4750 DE. The entry would be in the city of Gundu in Taethir.

## Entry

Scenario begins as one enters a marble floored agora plaza surrounded by a pillared stoa.

The portal is at the end of agora, facing inward.  The sky is a crisp, gorgeous blue, with striations of distant cirrus clouds.  Occasionally the sky will "glitch" and darken to a swirling, grey orange maelstrom, but will flicker back instantly.  These momentary glitches will be the first sign that something is wrong with the Dungeon.

The floor of the stoa has a marble mosaic depicting various races signing treaties, documents, and doing business.  As one approaches the center of the circular plaza, the scenes give way to larger, majestic humanoid figures, raising above trees, seeming to hold up clouds.  Above the mosaics of clouds, lofty, impossible barely humanoid figures, winged, ringed, haloed and baffling will move about in placid, opalescent spaces, and beyond them, at the center of the plaza will be a huge, cut stone, like a cat's eye, flattened but vaguely lifted from the plaza floor.  In its midst will be the mark seen on the Dungeon's gate.  Around it, written in an inscrutable tongue are the words, "In the name of the One made Three, and the Three thus Threed."  Spreading out from these words are the following, "The Lawmaiden welcomes you, She of sky and earth, She who lifts the Scales.  She governs the Law, She guides the Compact, She holds the Trust, She honors the Oath, She watches the Coin, Commerce and Contract."  When someone touches the "cat's eye" with the sigil within, an image, not illusory, but part of the world about them will reveal a woman of svelte beauty, wreathed in scrolls and carnations.

Shoah will announce, "My dear siblings and their most loyal servants and boon children, welcome to my citadel.  Within, I have made unto you a divine challenge, to make defense against worthy foes.   They shall come upon you, and the citadel within, I call unto you to defend the fortress with all your might!"  She will lift her hand, revealing a portal opposite the entry.  The portal will shine beautifly blue, before flickering with a filthy, sickly purple swirl.

## Citadel of Shoah

The Dungeon itself is less a dungeon, and more of an event stage.  The scene will take place on a large battlefield, and features a staggered shaped fortress.

Staged area will be surrounded by trees and stones to serve as protection for the invaders.  Ice and snow is the theme.

The party will have a moment to get within and prep (as they will start outside).  There will be far distant flashes of blue, as portals open distantly to their view.  One large portal will open, revealing a giant bowing into view.  With them will come abundant soldiers and warriors, driving for the fortress.

Immediately, the portals will flare, burst into wild colors, flaring purple to the surprise of the giant, and in will burst a massive, bull like demon.  Other demons will pour through, and begin to devastate the warriors, slaughtering them and pouring up the hills in their place.

In addition to the bull-like demon there is a flier and a whole field of horrors that explode upon death in melting devastation,

## Treasury
