the sun is so bright it shines through the mountain

ꙮ there’s a lot of gnosis-powered lighting. that’s how the little light-patterns sunk into the floor of the cavern work (they’re like. in my head they are almost like. neon strips, but not quite as vivid?), and there’s a LOT of bioluminescent moss. there are a bunch of gnosis-powered lamps that were recovered from Somewhere In The Cave that are all kind of… smooth and ceramic-ey in a way that’s aesthetically unfamiliar. there’s basically like. streetlights, effectively, that the apostates made themselves and emplaced into various cavern walls where they needed more light
