Gates of Hell
ItemA towering bronze sculpture kept within Tokyo's Ueno Park, held inside the city's National Museum of Western Art. Shown to the public as fine art, it secretly doubles as a paranormal doorway leading down into the lair belonging to Vlad.
Overview
Standing within Ueno Park in Tokyo, this enormous bronze piece is housed at Tokyo's National Museum of Western Art, displayed openly as a museum exhibit. Beyond its artistic role, the work secretly functions as a supernatural passage into Vlad's lair.
Function
The sculpture is shaped as a colossal pair of doors, its whole surface crowded with over two hundred figures. Those figures writhe, tumble, twist, and grip the bronze as they cover it. While serving as art on the floor, the gateway also opens a hidden route to the domain belonging to Vlad.
Notable Users
Sometime after the Kur invasion wrapped up, Saint-Germain stepped out of the doors wearing his Sanjome guise and set off toward Kami High, drawing the stares of the museum's visitors as he emerged.
