/* Babel Destiny — landing. The page is a HIDE the Tower was written on: warm vellum under
   carved stone, the game's own candle-gold for anything that speaks.

   Two generated tiles do the material work (see assets/parchment.png, assets/script.png):
   the hide's mottle and the Tower's invented script, both seamless - the panel runs taller
   than any tile and a seam across 3000 px is the one flaw nobody can unsee.
   Cinzel is self-hosted (SIL OFL); body text falls back to system serifs. */
