The insides of the fortress were not scraps quickly held together in patches of metal, but standardized white and grey plates, built for functionality first, and pleasantries later, they knew plain grey insides would be too overbearing for many people, so they placed many canvases and plants around.
Honest to God plants. The Eclipse evoked the things Ellianor had never seen since his trip, where he faced corruption and met the bases for his body.
A bit of green, true plant green gave a much better air for the installations, almost in a literal sense.
Soldiers escorted them from all sides. They were being brought to meet with the leader of the fortress, and by proxy the leader of the guards. Ellianor had no reservations this time.
The soldiers were in good state and were geared up head to toe with armor and protective gear. Rather than heavy armor, it was in line with ceramic body armor and layers of clothing.
