D23, 2-1 Temple of the Leaping Oracle; The Defender's Ascent

 The first couple of rooms I built for this level have had a very loose relationship and have been built in a very illogical order. I will be forced to renumber the last four rooms to make sense of this floor's Layout. This room would be the most likely entry point for a party delving into this floor.


Defender's Ascent  

This room marks the ascension of defenders to their charge or gatherers to their harvest in the Pits

Design

This room is shaped from coral like the rest of the temple six medium-sized statues of Marianan soldiers each holding a shield with Aquan Runes carved on them.
"pōsha ɥir" - "We Stand Watch"
