The Weighing of the Fourfold Path

The chamber is heavy with the scent of aged cedar and cold iron. In the center stand three massive iron scales held aloft by headless marble statues, their pedestals engraved with glowing Celestial glyphs. Four translucent crystal phials, each swirling with a unique colored vapor representing a lost soul, sit on a velvet-lined table at the edge of the room. A mural behind the scales depicts a celestial courtroom where no words are spoken and only the weight of a soul determines the afterlife.
