Bregion empire , in the imperial citadel
Beneath the domed ceiling of the Flamehold Hall, light pours through golden skylights shaped like phoenix wings, casting warm firelight across the obsidian and silver-veined floor. The throne room of the Bregion Empire is vast—wide enough to house a war camp, tall enough to dwarf siege engines. Every corner is etched with runes of power and protection, and murals of past emperors burn softly on the stone walls, flickering as if alive.
And now, it fills with motion.
One by one, shadows appear at the far end of the hall.
Their footsteps echo like drums across the polished stone.
The Twenty Spears of the Empire have arrived.
They do not come together. They do not walk as equals. Each enters alone, and each arrival is a presence that shifts the room's weight. These are the Empire's most elite champions—not bound by blood, nor oath, but by deed and recognition.
