The Crimson & Ebony Ballroom of Forbidden Rituals A haunting, opulent ballroom, where deep red stained-glass panels cast a wine-colored glow over polished black marble floors. Towering, obsidian gearwork pillars, wrapped in blood-red roses and dark ivy, frame an ornate, brass clock altar, ticking with an unsettling rhythm. The plush scarlet velvet chairs and mahogany tables are adorned with flickering gas-lit candles, their wax pooling like molten gold. The air is thick with burnt incense, aged leather, and spiced wine, creating an atmosphere of gothic mystery and arcane rituals.
