A breathtaking, wide-angle first-person cinematic view looking across a flat, wind-scoured basalt mountain plateau toward the colossal entrance of an ancient mountain fortress carved directly into a sheer cliff of black volcanic glass and obsidian, set high in the jagged desert spires. Dominating the center are colossal 40-foot-tall double doors made of ancient verdigris bronze encrusted with thick hoarfrost and ice, meeting at a heavy adamantine latch-bar visible through a slight center seam. Intricate, sinister bas-relief murals are cast across the bronze doors depicting robed desert cultists offering poisoned chalices to a colossal blue dragon whose flesh sloughs away as its soul is siphoned into a glowing sapphire. In the exact center of the massive doors sits a carved hollow draconic skull flanked by outstretched skeletal claws, forming an altar basin that emits a dim, pulsating sapphire-blue glow. Above the central gate, 35 feet up the sheer rock face, black iron ventilation exhaust grates vent plumes of sulfurous steam and rhythmic crackles of cobalt-blue lightning into the freezing air. To the left and right of the doors, narrow fortified sniper arrow slits are chiseled into the dark stone 25 feet above the ground, while two motionless stone gargoyles carved like horned dragons perch silently along the grand door archway. The ground is a flat shelf of black basalt lightly dusted with orange desert grit and frozen rime. In the foreground, partially buried stone pedestals and lead-bound lecterns sit weathered by the elements. Bruised purple storm clouds swirl above the razor-sharp needle peaks.
