Sacrificial Moon Altar, Ceremonial Stone Platform | 32mm & 75mm Fantasy Terrain | FDM & Resin

Beneath the eternal crescent of the Moonveil, ancient ceremonies are performed upon sacred platforms hidden deep within the Dark Elf realm.

The Sacrificial Moon Altar is one of the most revered—and feared—ceremonial sites of the Moonveil Dark Elves.

A broad elevated stone platform stands at its center, surrounded by sweeping gothic arches, towering crescent structures, Moonveil banners, jagged rock formations, and carefully carved ceremonial stonework. The circular altar itself bears the markings of countless rituals conducted beneath the symbols of the crescent moon.

Moonveil priestesses and sorceresses gather here to perform forbidden rites, bind magical oaths, summon creatures from beyond the mortal realm, and offer sacrifices in exchange for knowledge and power.

Despite its sinister reputation, not every ceremony performed upon the altar demands blood. Coronations, magical initiations, military oaths, and the binding of powerful artifacts may also take place upon its ancient stones.

On the tabletop, the Sacrificial Moon Altar provides a dramatic location for ritual encounters, rescue missions, boss battles, magical ceremonies, summoning events, or objectives that adventurers must reach before a ritual is completed.

Perfect for resin or FDM printing, the altar is designed to complement the entire Moonveil Dark Elf collection at both 32mm tabletop scale and 75mm display scale.

Ritual Focus. A spellcaster performing a ritual while standing upon the central platform may use the altar as an arcane or divine focus at the DM's discretion.

Moonveil Empowerment. Once per round, a Moonveil spellcaster standing upon the altar may gain advantage on one Constitution saving throw made to maintain concentration.

Forbidden Ceremony. The altar is ideally suited to encounter objectives involving rituals. The DM may establish a number of rounds before a ceremony is completed, requiring adventurers to disrupt the ritual before time expires.

Sacrificial Power. When a creature is reduced to 0 hit points upon the central platform, the DM may cause the altar to release a surge of magical energy appropriate to the encounter.

Break the Ritual. Defacing the central ritual circle, removing a required artifact, defeating the ritual leader, or otherwise disrupting the ceremony may immediately end any magical effect being maintained by the altar.

🧱 FDM Printing

For FDM printing, a 0.12–0.16mm layer height is recommended to retain the altar's architectural detailing.

Tree/organic supports may be required around the sweeping crescent structures, upper arch, hanging ornaments, banners, and projecting gothic details.

The broad lower platform should provide good stability, while taller individual architectural elements may benefit from a brim.

🧪 Resin Printing

For maximum architectural and ornamental detail, 0.05mm layers are recommended.

Supports & Orientation

For resin, start with Chitubox Auto Orientation + Auto Supports — Light, followed by a manual inspection of the crescent arches, hanging ornaments, banners, railings, spires, and underside of the elevated platform.

For FDM, orient pieces to preserve the highly visible ritual platform and decorative front surfaces while minimizing supports.
