Bones on the Horizon

The forty-seventh noon blazed over Kael El's empire, a violet-gold shimmer stretching across 6,906 square kilometers—nineteen territories of forest, plains, mesa, desert, swamp, jungle, tundra, crypt, molten wastes, steel flats, and ash plains trembling under a distant rumble. The major city pulsed, 115 buildings fortified with Mist Core walls, forges roaring as 1,838,000 subjects sharpened steel and ash-forged blades. Kael stood atop the Lord's Estate, the Stormforged Blade in hand, EX: Dragonflame Reaver glowing faintly, Stormhide Armor etched with ash scars. His flirty smirk gleamed, a cool dominance radiating as he flexed EX: Ash Dominion, gray wisps curling—Torva's bone tide loomed 800 km west, and Kael's blood hummed for war.
