The entire place, resembling the eerie interior of a cave, was filled with figures cloaked in dark hoods, their faces hidden in shadow. Massive torches blazed, casting wild, flickering light that danced across the stone walls. Along the sides, cages lined the cavern, each imprisoning women draped in white cloth. Their eyes were blindfolded, their mouths gagged with cloth, silencing their voices and stripping them of sight.
Suddenly, a ripple of noise stirred the gathered crowd as one of the hooded figures ascended to the stage. On the ground, a massive circle was etched into the stone, marked with an ominous symbol that seemed to pulse with dark energy.
The figure raised their arms high, their voice echoing through the cavern. "In the shadows, we find truth, and in the darkness, we are reborn. The world will bow to our will, for we are the harbingers of the Eclipse, where light meets its end and our power begins."
