SPLINTERED HEELS : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGhZtIDiI5g (CW explicit album cover)
For real big Sanctum ambience, go to 3:40.

"And the ribs tower in the sky, these celestial bodies framed by the debris of a fractured universe long gone, whispering stories of a war waged long ago against the very fabric of reality itself. Can you hear them, if you listen closely to these quiet gusts of wind?
They might seem as bones of a dead god to mortals. A part of something now resting in eternal slumber, something larger than they could ever conceive. Something that has sacrificed itself so they might be able to walk this world.
What would they do if you were to tell them this great Titan was once actually built to kill a senescent God for good, and is just one of many adrift on these celestial shores?
It's not like you could tell them anyways. The Dogma forbids it, after all."

An illustration of the Titan landscape with the Sword for my worldbuilding project "Sanctum".
I've been meaning to make this piece since I first heard the linked track above in late January 2020, a track come quintessential by now for the setting's idiosyncratic soundscape. One of my most involved illustrations to date, and I am glad I took the plunge despite fearing I could not pull it off.

It's so cool!!! Those immense ribs far in the distance, so massive and afar that they lose the sense of physical objects and just become background, an unattainable horizon always there in the sky, immutable. One could imagine the sky itself is just made like that.
A bit like Mount Fuji is ever present in the distance in Japan, but on a scale so vast that mortal minds were not made to comprehend it, and stop registering them as "things".
Love it
Also I'm very sorry, this period I have been neglectful at checking people. Whenever I saw your works on Telegram I was very excited but one way or another I never got to comment ;_;

Thanks for your thoughts! The setting does kinda work like that, with how the ribs effectively are part of the sky like the sun or moon for us. They are "just there" and have always been.
Also no bother, I always appreciate your kind comments either way and I am glad you like my stuff! :)
