The Gates
Purpose / Function
The primary arrival site for Sinners in Altivara.
The Gates mark the entry point for all newly manifested Sinners in Altivara, functioning as both a ceremonial plaza and a practical transition space. At first glance, it appears as an immaculate square of pale stone, ringed by reflective pillars that shimmer like liquid glass. Visitors often feel simultaneously awed and scrutinized; even the light seems to accentuate flaws and highlight posture, expression, and poise.
Upon arrival, most Sinners are disoriented or weakened from their passage. They are immediately guided to a nearby care facility, akin to a hospital, where staff—primarily Superbia—conduct physical assessments, restorative treatments, and initial orientation. While the environment is clinical, subtle magical enhancements are everywhere: the air encourages calm, and soft light highlights features in flattering ways. Even during care, observers quietly note early signs of pride, attention to detail, or other behaviors that will influence the Sinner’s social assimilation.
The Gates thus serve a dual role: ensuring safety and health while acting as Altivara’s primary stage for the subtle cultivation of pride, where first impressions can define a newcomer’s path toward becoming a Superbia.
