Browning's Godhood Ritual and Grand Towers Control Room
Summary
The Grand Towers control-room crisis revealed that Everard Browning’s godhood ritual was draining the Dome, using its containment system and crystal power to bring him close to ascension. The plan treated the people and prisoners inside the Dome as expendable fuel, while the control room, Justicars, Browning’s table trap, and the fragments of Humility removed from Thomas/Ennui exposed the wider history of the ritual. After the party recovered Valenth Cardonal, she proposed a safer alternative: reroute the power through Grand Towers so the Dome could come down while the prisoners remained contained within their own prisons.
