The narrative assertion
"Skart’s proposal of a blood sacrifice (beat cb12a3a12e15ff9b) escalates the ritual from weapon acceptance to actual human sacrifice, culminating in Ranquin officially declaring the offering and temple readiness (beat c4c1bd3d33577623). The moral threshold is crossed toward ritualized murder."
