Sanctum Overhaul — Visuals of Prestige
In the realm of the dead, your **Sanctum** is more than shelter — it is your **soul-forged bastion**, a reflection of your divine journey. With the arrival of this major **Visual Overhaul**, every player may now shape their personal sanctuary in the image of their conquests, oaths, and chosen gods. From sacred firepits to celestial tapestries, your resting grounds evolve with your legend.
Modular Shrine Architectures
Reconstruct your Sanctum using ancient blueprints — from weathered sandstone crypts and obsidian domes to celestial pavilions wrapped in moonlight. Choose how to arrange your **ritual chambers, relic vaults, companion dens**, and prayer platforms. Favor balance, asymmetry, or chaos — each design unlocks subtle blessings aligned to your path.
Altar Flames & Spiritual Auras
Customize the color and behavior of your altar flames: a crimson blaze for Wrathful pacts, soft azure for Harmony-bound champions, or a flickering voidfire to honor the Fallen Kings. Your flame intensity now **shifts with divine favor**, echoing victories or warnings from the gods. Sanctums pulse with ambient energy based on your chosen alignment and trial outcomes.
Banners of the Pantheon
Display sacred banners and woven crests representing your loyalty — whether to Anubis, Bastet, Horus, or forgotten gods sealed beyond the dunes. These sigils not only declare your path, but **influence interactions with NPC acolytes** and companion spirits. Rare banners also boost passive morale or unlock secret dialogue in shrine hubs.
Relic Display & Companion Resting Sites
Place your recovered relics in ornate steles, ceremonial racks, or suspended aether orbs for other players to view. Set dedicated resting spots for companions — jackal familiars, falcon scouts, or skeletal wardens — with unique animations based on their bond tier. Sanctums feel **lived in, revered, and alive.**
Ambient Audio & Mystic Motion
Choose from ambient soundscapes: hollow whispers from the Duat, echoes of ancient chants, temple bells, or desert winds brushing carved pillars. New visual effects — drifting ash, glimmering soul trails, embers that dance to music — shift with your Sanctum’s aura and the relics you house within. Let your sanctuary **breathe like a living temple**.
"This isn’t just where you rest between battles. It’s where the gods observe your journey. It’s where legends kneel — or ascend." — Temple Architect Sahtep, Order of the Eclipsed Flame
Prestige Sets & Divine Unlocks
Unlock new customization themes by fulfilling sacred trials: surviving underworld storms, mastering combat in cursed tombs, or completing pilgrimage contracts. Sets like *Keeper of Embers*, *Lunar Oracle*, and *Child of the Forgotten Pharaoh* offer full visual overhauls — with glowing pathways, animated relic walls, and spectral attendants that appear when your health drops below thresholds.
Legacy Seen Across Realms
Your Sanctum is now visible in multiplayer lobbies, ceremonial duels, and end-of-stage tributes. Whether another pilgrim visits your resting space or glimpses it through divine vision after a duel — your temple’s shape speaks volumes. The greater your feats, the more radiant your Sanctum becomes. Let the walls remember, even when your body falls.
