Gehn's face would then appear within the cage. In actuality the cage was a large [[imager]], and Gehn's holographic form was being projected from an adjacent room. Worshippers would leave offerings of fruit in front of stone effigies of [[Wahrk]]s situated on either side of the imager. Gehn had co-opted the Rivenese's reverence and fear of the Wahrk. By displaying power over the great fish, he demonstrated that he was the most powerful force on [[Riven]]. | ||
