War Dome
The Inner Sea is a tumultuous place, and the past century has been no exception. From the rise of hobgoblin-ruled Oprak in Avistan to the Vidrian revolution in Garund, the path to peace on Golarion is all too often stained with blood. The War Dome is this year’s Radiant Festival’s answer to the mayhem of late. Inside the stolid stone building, whose most notable feature is an impressive hemispherical roof made entirely from sheets of treated mithral, visitors can honor fallen warriors and living veterans around the world thanks to unique enchantment magic. The spell, which suffuses the entire interior of the structure, draws memories of loved ones from attendees and projects images of these individuals onto the flat black panels of the building’s dome. Every visitor sees different images based on their thoughts and feelings, though it is possible to share visions by holding hands with whoever is conjuring the strongest image at the time. Some patrons have sworn they could stand right beside embodiments of their heroic grandparents in full regalia, while others have witnessed terribly realistic renditions of the horror of the battlefield. Few visitors leave the War Dome unchanged, and the sight of so many grief-stricken or even openly weeping attendees leaving the building has resulted only in ever-increasing attendance numbers. The exhibit’s creator and manager, a retired Molthuni mage-general named Romolu Setten, solemnly acknowledges every person who enters or leaves the dome. Though many uncouth exhibitgoers have asked, the sober veteran refuses to share any details of his own War Dome visions nor any hints about his rumored secret missions for Molthune.
