This altar is clearly a relic of an ancient worship, for even the pitch-black stone in which it is carved is unknown to you. Looking more closely at the carvings, you notice runes marked on each of the eight sides of its base. Terrible figures have been exquisitely carved into each face, their minute features writhing in the black rock. Upon the apex of the altar is a carving of a great spider, each of its terrible legs growing into one of the eight faces and a smooth bowl cut within the centre of its grotesque body.
