Pillar of Fire (Extinct)

A torture device popular in Europe from the 10th to 15th centuries of the Bading Calendar. The Badings believed they could use this tool to burn witches to death, but that was merely wishful thinking. Some witches who disliked bathing were happy to let the Badings prepare a warm fire bath for them. Many innocent female Badings were also killed by their companions in this manner.

Inside the glass case stood a wooden platform with three wooden pillars rising from it. The pillars were wrapped in oil-soaked hemp ropes. Bound to the middle pillar was a wizard struggling violently, his face plastered with an exaggerated, false smile. Below the platform was a sea of dark heads. From Zheng Qing's angle, he could see only the backs of heads in all sorts of shapes.

Inside the glass case stood a tall American bison, its eyes fierce. Several slender javelins hung from its back, blood slowly running down its spine. Around it stood several natives, hunched over in fear and dressed in leather skirts, along with a white man mounted on a tall horse and holding a musket. A wisp of smoke still drifted from the gun muzzle.
