THE ECSTASY OF MAXIMALS

Description

The Enshrined do not breathe. They do not need to. They are the object of devotion, the destination of the pilgrim's long walk, the end of every prayer that has nowhere else to go. Ketherbound is a reliquary of obsidian lacquer and cascading silver chain. No face interrupts its surface. No eyes receive your supplication. Where a mouth might speak, there is only sealed dark. The void does not answer. It collects. Its Maltese cross tiara crowns nothing recognizable as a head. The chains descend from it like frozen rain, like consecrated wire, like the grammar of a ritual no living tongue can finish. Within the obsidian, stars move. They are not reflections. Astronomers who have studied Ketherbound report constellations that appear on no recorded sky. The cross it carries is not decorative. Penitents of the Void Chain tradition believe that sin accumulates in the body and must be transferred outward into a vessel capable of bearing infinite weight. Ketherbound bears it. Has always borne it. The chains at its collar are not restraint.
