Chapter no. 63 Martial Essence

[ Spirit Mountain Sect - Huaca Pucllana ]

Amid the sacred hall of the Spirit Mountain Sect; Huaca Pucllana, a grand adobe pyramid that stood tall and proud in its prime. Servants dressed in the finery of their ancestors carried platters of food with great care, for they knew the importance of this evening's gathering. These servants were humanoid animals, their unique features blending with the traditional garb they wore.

Inside the pyramid's walls, a hall was set with a long table adorned with silverware and crystal glasses. At the head of the table sat Kunlan alongside a red-haired man. The sect leader, Yaretzi, and the elders, each clothed in garments of fine silk and wearing the weight of their years upon their faces, sat opposite Kunlan. Their gaze was fixed upon the food as it was served.
