In an ancient obsidian tower, there were as many as a dozen or fewer people gathered. High above, the ceiling arched into a perfect dome, intricately carved with constellations and cosmic patterns that shifted subtly as though alive, responding to the presence of the people below.

The walls of the chamber were lined with towering pillars. Between the pillars, massive windows of enchanted glass opened to the skies, offering a panoramic view of the swirling storm clouds and the distant execution stage below.
