The war room was lit brightly right now. Varok stood at the head of the table, his silver eyes fixed on the crude map sprawled before him. The other division leaders sat around the table in tense silence, their expressions a mix of contemplation and frustration.

The revelation of the blue skeleton's true nature had shaken them all. The knowledge that it belonged to a dead goddess buried in their world for an unknowable amount of time felt like the opening of a door to a labyrinth they had no map for.
The silence in the room was thick, each leader grappling with the weight of the discovery.
Varok broke the silence first, his voice steady but still clearly laced with frustration.
"The elders knew. They knew all along, yet they said nothing."
