<><><><><><><>
The sky, shrouded in a thick blanket of dark clouds, loomed over the Balkan Peninsula like a vast, ominous curtain.
In a mountain basin somewhere in the Balkans, a group of witches performed a ritual dance, their movements a prayer to the gods.
Etched on the ground was a massive and intricate magic circle, composed of countless nodes that emitted a faint, ethereal glow.
Each node in the circle corresponded to a specific star in the celestial expanse. The arrangement of stars had been meticulously replicated, etched onto the nodes of the earth's ley lines.
This ritual mirrored the ancient concept of the Three Powers – Heaven, Earth, and Man. The arrangement of stars represented Heaven, the earth's ley lines represented Earth, and the witches themselves embodied the concept of Man.
At the center of the magic circle lay an ancient stone tablet. Carved upon its surface was the story of the Nibelungenlied, an epic saga from Germanic mythology. Its weather-beaten appearance spoke volumes of its long history.
Before the tablet, a witch, controlled by Voban's Death Authority, gazed at the stone with an expression of fervent devotion.
The alignment of stars, the pulsating earth's ley lines, the presence of skilled witches, a priest fueled by an insatiable desire to summon a god, and the Nibelungenlied – a myth that would serve as a vessel for the god's descent, a story widely known throughout the land – all the necessary elements for the summoning had been assembled.
