Initiate Altar

“On the high altar in each temple there is supposedly a large golden circle, the symbol of Priest-Kings, a symbol of eternity, of a thing without beginning or end." Dancer of G.

Designed as a focus point for Priest King cult rituals, this altar finds its most natural location in the heart of a temple, but it could as well be used in a city plaza or in a dedicated cult room in a high caste or rich merchant house. While its design features some specific offerings like the salts, it can also be used as a generic altar for any roman, greek or egyptian ancient and up to late medieval environments. Perfect as a focal point for different rituals, especially weddings,companionships and handfastings.

The altar itself is a solid block of marble like white stone,covered with a richly textured silk runner drape (three color versions included:red,blue and green). Ritual scrolls, smoking incense, a beeswax candle giving off warm light, and offerings of bread, wine, and red,yellow and white salt complete the accessories.

When clicked,it will give a wearable censer, and it includes three different long looped animations that can be switched with PgUp/Pg Down, for preaching to a crowd, praying, and different rituals.

Trident has been designing and creating ancient and medieval builds since 2007. The inspiration for our work comes from our passion for medieval reenactment and research of historic houses, ships, furniture, jewelry and clothing.

Trident builds are fully supported and continually updated to increase detail and reduce prim count making use of custom sculpts and texturing, and unique scripts and animations.
