Chamber of Atonement

Serving as the threshold to the Forlorn Cloister, the Chamber of Atonement is far from a sanctuary of peaceful prayer. Instead, the Scarlet Crusade has converted the grand entryway into a house of pain, outfitted with racks, shackles, and burning braziers. Zealous inquisitors use these instruments to extract confessions and torment captives, viewing excruciating pain as the only fitting penance for unholy beings. The chamber echoes constantly with the cries of the damned, presided over by cruel taskmasters who ensure that those who enter rarely walk out whole.

The chamber is overseen by Interrogator Vishas, one of the Crusade's most sadistic practitioners of coercion. Vishas takes grotesque pride in breaking the resolve of anyone caught crossing the monastery's boundaries. Among his prized victims is the Forsaken captive Vorrel Sengutz, who has endured endless weeks of torment at Vishas's hands. The cruelty practiced within these walls proves to outsiders that the Scarlet Crusade's crusade for purity has twisted into wanton sadism.
