The sky was a murky gray, heavy with the weight of an impending storm.
Thunder rumbled in the distance as Emperor Arkanos Bloodbane stood before the entrance of the Bloodbane Tomb, in a set of black and white armor, the final resting place of his ancestors.
The massive stone doors loomed before him, engraved with the names of rulers long dead, their legacies carved into history.
Behind him, his knights stood in formation—Seraphine, his steadfast knight captain, along with Garik, Darian, Kael, Esten, and Laris were present as well.
Their armor gleamed under the dim light filtering through the storm clouds. Some held torches, the flames flickering in the cold wind that howled through the desolate mountainside.
The tomb itself was carved into the heart of an obsidian mountain, flanked by two colossal statues of warriors with swords pointed downward, signifying eternal rest.
