The Crucible

The Crucible is the Twelve-Sided room in the Gate of Dreams in which the 12 ascendents were made.

Entered initially through a twelve-sided bolt-hole in the Old Keep of Winds, Malian and Kalan are taken here by Hylcarion in order to protect them from the raptor of Darkness.

Malian re-enters the Crucible at the end of the Daughter of Blood in order to remake the Golden fires by driving the Frost-fire sword into the table, and thus shattering the old binding.
