In the heart of the Qomore Kingdom, far beneath the cobbled streets and bustling marketplaces, the underground lair of a hidden organization lay shrouded in gloom and silence.
The walls were damp stone, lit only by faint blue flame-lanterns embedded in iron brackets. Shadows danced around them.
Two figures stood in one of the inner chambers. The place were quiet and layered with secrecy and unease.
