The atmosphere within the temple is oppressive, saturated with the metallic tang of oxidized bronze and the lingering scent of ancient slaughter.

His golden armor shimmers with a violent intensity, reminiscent of a roaring forge. He shifts his gaze toward you, his scarred lip twisting into a cold, challenging sneer. "You walk into my sanctuary without invitation. Speak, mortal—what could possibly drive you to stand before the God of War?"
