Nine giant columns of silver veined obsidian were arranged facing each other in a circle. The inner side of each column was cut so perfectly smoothed they formed mirrors.

"It is all that new Twilight King's doing. My spies report the humans have allied themselves with him. They claim he bears both a crown and a seed of chaos." Coming from one of the mirrors was a voice like rusty chains being dragged across the rough stone.
"Is that so?" Inrag's deep rumbling voice sounded more bemused than concerned.
