At the southernmost tip of the continent, over 1000 kilometers from the angelic ruins, a thick fog rose, concealing behind it an immense mountain, the Sacred Mountain. At the top of this imposing verdant mountain, stretched a resplendent city as far as the eye could see. In its center stood a grand white castle, golden and sumptuous, dominating the landscape with its towering spires and sparkling windows. Inside, one could admire a dazzling room decorated in silver, gold, white, and green. In the center of this room stood seven thrones of pure gold and other precious stones.
