Obsidian Citadel

The sun had just begun its ascent, casting a golden hue across the vast expanse of the capital city of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm.

The morning air was aromatic, tinged with a faint chill that clung to the skin, yet the warmth of the rising sun promised a day of intensity and excitement.

The capital, known as the Obsidian Citadel, was a sprawling metropolis of towering black-crimson pagodas, majestic marble palaces, and ancient stone temples. In the heart of the city, there were many places, but one of the locations was called Execution Square.

It belonged to the imperial family of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan and was used to execute their enemies and those who deserved capital punishment. It was a massive open space flanked by grandiose structures, their walls decorated with the intricate carvings of turtles, symbols of the clan's glorious bloodline.
