Profile
The altar to the north-east of the Upper Yard where the “Special Lobster Express” delivers offerings to the Kami (Ch. 243, page 14). It “cannot be reached on foot, even from the nearby coast” — only by following the Milky Road through the forest (page 16). Trespassers (“Class-2 criminals”) are taken here either to be sacrificed or to undergo a “challenge” — the central mechanic of the Skypiea Survival Game. See Skypiea Survival Game and Heavens Punishment.
