What is recorded here
Magma has no castle because it never asked permission to enter the chamber. It cut through rock, flesh and memory alike, filling the vessel until overflow became the shape of the world. What looks like a chamber is only the inside of a living storm, and what looks like a chamber in anyone else is the same force wearing their coordinates.
