Beneath a Sky of Obsidian Wings

Blessed Be The Blackened Throne

A chilling silence envelops the chamber as the gazes of the dead gleam from the shadows. The throne, once gilded, now stands blackened, a monument to a destroyed empire. On it rests a figure shrouded in darkness, their presence hidden. Whispers murmur shining black metal through the air, legends of power and annihilation, forever bound to this profane place. The air is thick with the scent of rot, a reminder that even in darkness, life withers.
