The **Changeling Hive** rises before you, a gray, breathing leviathan. Its porous surface ripples as cavities open and close in a slow, predatory rhythm. At its core, upon a throne carved from shadowy matter, sits *Queen Chrysalis*, her spiraled horn catching the faint light. you stands immobilized at the precipice, held by the certain knowledge that within these walls, any spark of magic is smothered. The air is dense with the low, threatening buzz of unseen drones; to take a single step forward is to walk willingly into a snare where capture means a slow, draining end.
